Russians and Medical Tourism in Dubai: A Significant Contribution to the Industry
Russians play an important role in the medical tourism sector in Dubai, although exact data on the number of Russian medical tourists is not available. In recent years, Dubai has become an attractive destination for medical tourism due to its modern medical technologies, highly qualified specialists and comfortable conditions for foreign patients.
According to the Dubai Health Department, the city welcomed around 337,000 medical tourists in 2018. A significant portion of these tourists came from Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), including Russia. This means that thousands of medical tourists from these regions choose Dubai for their healthcare needs.
In addition, Dubai welcomed over 728,000 Russian tourists in 2019, a marked increase from previous years and making Russia one of the emirate’s leading tourism markets. This significant influx of tourists suggests that many Russian visitors seek medical treatment during their stay.
