About Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi
Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi (CCAD) is the first and only hospital in the world established as a full partnership with Cleveland Clinic, consistently ranked the #1 hospital in the US for cardiology by US News & World Report. Opened in 2015 as a collaboration between Cleveland Clinic and Mubadala Investment Company, CCAD brings the full Cleveland Clinic model — physician training, clinical protocols, quality standards, and culture — directly to the Middle East.
CCAD is a multispecialty hospital with 364 beds and 45 medical and surgical specialties, serving as the definitive referral center for the most complex cases in the UAE and broader Gulf region. The hospital’s cardiologists, neurologists, and oncologists are recruited directly through Cleveland Clinic’s global talent network, ensuring the same caliber of physician found at the flagship Ohio campus.
For patients from the GCC and MENA region, CCAD represents an unmatched combination of US-equivalent clinical excellence without the need to travel to North America. For European patients, CCAD offers comparable clinical outcomes to German university hospitals with significantly more convenient travel and a fully Arabic-English bilingual environment.

Patient Reviews
The international patient department at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi made everything seamless. From my first inquiry to discharge, every step was handled professionally. I would not hesitate to return.
Outstanding quality of care. The surgeons here are clearly world-class, and the nursing staff were attentive around the clock. Clean, modern facility. Highly recommend for international patients.
My experience at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi exceeded every expectation. The English-speaking coordinator was available day and night. The price was a fraction of what I would have paid at home.
