Which is the closest general hospital to Meadows/Lakes/Springs? Say for example, if your child had croup one night, or a bad asthma attack and was having difficulty in breathing, where would you, or the ambulance take them?

If it was a different problem and non life-threatening, would this change which hospital you would go to? If so, what would be your choice of hospital then (once again from Meadows)?

There is also Welcare hospital at Knowledge Village, I believe its open 24hours with A&E dept and they also have ambulance service. I dont know anything much about the place except its small, but maybe the Accident and emergency unit is good to know......

Agreed. Major trauma cases all go to Rashid because that's where they are best equipped and best trained to deal with major emergencies.

Medcare...very very quick to get to, is by safa park, and for middle of the night trips to A&E, all good. How come I have called Rosary clinic and they have said they don't open til 9 if they are open 24 hours? Never understood that. The Meadows clinic is pretty good for standard GP/dentist appointments too if you havent yet got yourself a GP.

The Rosary Clinic in the Springs is 24 hours, so you can go there if you need to get somewhere quick. But Medcare isn't too far away either... I think an ambulance would take you to Jebel Ali Hospital, or maybe Rashid hospital... I would drive rather than get an ambulance though.
