Essential Benefits Plan or DHA Plan for Dubai Visa holders

The Health Insurance Law of Dubai No 11 of 2013 makes it mandatory for all Residents of Dubai to have Medical Insurance meeting or exceeding the mininum benefits stipulated by Dubai Health Authority(DHA).

The DHA has approved a few insurance comapnies called Participating Insurers, who offer low cost medical insurance plans known as the Essential Benefits Plan;

Such plans offer a very basic and essential coverage for medical emergencies, maternity and access to a small list of clinics and hospitals for regular medical care.
