The majority of UAE residents would prefer their home country for medical consultations, according to a study done in the UAE recently.

Titled 'The State of UAE Healthcare Service Delivery: Public Perceptions' by Mohammed Bin Rashid School of Government (MBRSG) in January, the study also showed public concerns and perceptions regarding affordability and responsiveness in healthcare delivery in the UAE, which were lower - at 44 per cent and 36 per cent, respectively. The study included a cross section of 5,855 people.
