hospital-based emergency careThe large public hospitals in the UAE provide services free of charge for all conditions except minor emergencies. Private hospitals require upfront payment.

Statistics on ED utilisation in the UAE are not available but are being collected by government entities. There are a reported 124 hospitals in the seven emirates: 40 in Abu Dhabi, 40 in Dubai, 12 in Sharjah, 12 in Ajman, 11 in Ras Al Kaimah, six in Fujairah, and three in Umm Al Quwain.

Trauma careThe World Health Organisation (WHO) has collected statistical data stating that emergencies and accidents caused 32 deaths per 100,000 in the UAE, compared to United Kingdom’s four deaths per 100,000, and that the most common causes of trauma are road traffic accidents (RTAs), falls, suicide attempts and penetrative injuries. The World Report on Road Traffic Injury Prevention projects that in 2020, road trauma will be responsible for 546,000 deaths worldwide, making it one of the leading causes of death.

Emergency departments and trauma centres are now being established and expanded in public hospitals throughout the UAE.

StaffingEDs in the UAE are staffed mostly with expatriate physicians trained in medicine or surgery. The larger EDs also have residents, house officers/interns, and medical students. It is estimated that there are 1,000 physicians working in EDs in the UAE. Standardisation of paramedic levels and competencies is lacking in most of the smaller emirates.

Emergency medicine specialistsIn 2000, hospital administrators in the UAE began to recruit emergency medicine-trained physicians to their facilities. Prior to that time, emergency medical treatment was provided in accident and emergency (A&E) departments in public hospitals, staffed by general medical officers trained in medical or surgical disciplines.

Emergency medical servicesPre-hospital care has been one of the most challenging aspects of the emergency spectrum in the Middle East. EMS in the region are largely organised and run by the police departments.

Larger public and private medical facilities also own and run ambulance services. Their ambulances are used primarily for inter-hospital transfers, while police-run EMS ambulance crews provide acute pre-hospital care. The majority of ambulances offer basic life support (BLS/Type 2) with a growing minority offering advanced life support (ALS/Type 3). At the present time, there is minimal coordination between these groups and many gaps exist in the services they provide.

EMs equipmentRecent studies revealed a lack of awareness in the general population about how to activate and utilise EMS resources. The use of EMS by patients with acute coronary syndromes was shown to be lowest in the region (17%), compared with 23% in Bahrain, 30% in Qatar, and 37% in Oman.

The quality of pre-hospital care varies considerably amongst the emirates for several reasons. The most significant are the differences in EMS authorities, resulting in a lack of coordination and synergy. Another factor is the limited availability of EMS-trained professionals in the country.

disaster managementOver the past decade, disasters, both manmade and natural, have made disaster medicine and emergency management priorities for hospitals and healthcare systems. With the UAE being a major oil-rich financial and tourism hub, preparedness for incidents such as oil spills, plane crashes, and even mass casualty events forms an important component of the country’s comprehensive emergency medical system. Authorities in the region are focusing on all phases of the emergency management continuum, after studying the large number of emergency and disaster victim contingencies and their overwhelming financial burden.
