Burjeel opens Al Ain’s first round-the-clock urgent care centre

It is expected to serve more than 80,000 residents.

Burjeel Holdings has opened Al Ain’s first integrated 24-hour Urgent Care Centre at the Burjeel Day Surgery Centre in Al Dhahir.

The group said it was established in response to growing local demand, aiming to reduce the need to travel long distances for care and help prevent avoidable hospital visits.

It will serve more than 80,000 residents of Al Dhahir, Al Dhahir South, Mazyad, Um Ghafah, Al Noud, and neighbouring areas.

Patients can access medical evaluation, diagnostic services, treatment, observation, and follow-up referrals during the same visit.

Aysha Almahri, CEO of Burjeel Al Ain Region, said the centre will manage acute conditions, including fever, infections, respiratory illnesses, asthma exacerbations, allergic reactions, dehydration, gastrointestinal illnesses, urinary tract infections, headaches, migraines, and skin conditions.

“It will also treat minor fractures and sprains, cuts requiring suturing, burns, minor eye injuries, sports injuries, and other forms of minor trauma,” she added.

Treatments and procedures include intravenous therapy, medication administration, nebulisation, wound cleaning and suturing, splinting and casting for minor fractures, abscess drainage, pain management, minor procedures, and short-term observation.
