24/7 Emergency Care at King’s College Hospital Dubai
Emergencies can happen at any time, and when they do, you need to know where to go. At King’s College Hospital Dubai, our Emergency Department is open 24 hours a day, every day of the year. You can walk in at any time — no appointment, no delay.

Located in Dubai Hills, we’re trusted by families from across the city for our fast response, advanced technology, and compassionate approach.
What does the Emergency Department do?
Our Emergency Department provides urgent medical care for serious and sudden conditions. Some people come in with chest pain or breathing problems, others after a fall or injury. We see patients with severe infections, high fever, allergic reactions, abdominal pain, and pregnancy-related complications. Parents also bring their children for urgent concerns such as fever, breathing difficulty, or a sudden rash.
You don’t have to decide whether it’s an emergency — if you’re worried, come in. Our doctors will assess you right away.
Who will take care of you in the King’s College Hospital Dubai Emergency Department?
When you arrive, you’re seen by a senior Emergency Medicine Consultant. Behind them stands a full hospital team ready to act: pediatric emergency doctors, obstetricians, trauma specialists, anesthetists, surgeons, cardiologists, and intensive-care consultants. This coordination means you get the right care, right away.
Our multilingual staff makes communication easy. Whether you speak Arabic, English, Pashto, Russian, Malay, or another language, someone will be there to explain every step.

Expectant mothers should seek immediate care if they notice vaginal bleeding, reduced baby movement, sharp cramps, fever, or early signs of labor.
For children, come without delay if your child has a fever under three months old, breathing problems, seizures, vomiting, or dehydration, or any injury that concerns you.
It’s always better to be safe. Even if the problem turns out to be minor, you’ll have peace of mind knowing you were checked by an expert team.
What Conditions are Treated in the Emergency Department?
Our doctors manage everything from minor injuries to life-threatening emergencies. We treat heart attacks and strokes, asthma attacks, severe infections, trauma and fractures, concussions, allergic reactions, seizures, abdominal pain, pregnancy complications, and urgent pediatric conditions.
