🇦🇪 Why contribute
Why UAE contributors write for us
The UAE has invested heavily in becoming a world-class medical destination. Dubai Healthcare City, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, Aster Hospitals, and a growing network of JCI-accredited facilities have positioned the UAE as one of the region's leading healthcare hubs. A significant and growing number of Indian patients travel to Dubai and Abu Dhabi for specialist procedures.
For UAE hospitals, specialist clinics, and healthcare organisations — particularly those with an active medical tourism programme targeting Indian patients — a presence on one of India's growing independent health platforms is a direct, credible channel to that patient base.

Topics
What we publish from UAE contributors
Content does not need to be about the UAE specifically — clinical expertise and accuracy matter more than geography. These angles resonate particularly well when they come from UAE contributors:
✈️
Medical Tourism Guides
The UAE is one of the region's top medical tourism destinations. Articles helping Indian patients understand treatment options in Dubai or Abu Dhabi — costs, hospitals, procedures, visa requirements — are among our most-searched content types.
🩺
Clinical Condition Guides
Detailed, evidence-based articles written or reviewed by a DHA or DOH-licensed physician. UAE-based specialists practising at internationally accredited hospitals carry strong credibility with our readership.
🧠
Mental Health & Wellbeing
Mental health awareness is growing rapidly across the Gulf region. Content from UAE-licensed psychiatrists and therapists — particularly addressing the unique stressors of expat life and cross-cultural family dynamics — resonates strongly with our diaspora readership.
❤️
Lifestyle & Chronic Disease Management
The UAE has very high rates of diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease — conditions that also disproportionately affect South Asian populations globally. Evidence-based content from UAE specialists on managing these conditions is directly relevant to our readers.
👶
Women's Health & Fertility
The UAE has world-class IVF and fertility centres. Articles on fertility treatments, IVF costs, success rates, and women's health from UAE-based gynaecologists and fertility specialists perform consistently well on our platform.
🌿
Alternative & Integrative Medicine
The UAE has a well-regulated traditional medicine sector. Evidence-informed articles on Ayurveda, Unani, homeopathy, and integrative health from DHA-licensed practitioners are accepted.
💻
Health Technology in the Gulf
The UAE government has been a global pioneer in health tech adoption — from AI diagnostics to digital health records. Articles on UAE health tech innovations from Gulf-based health technology professionals are actively sought.
We cover 30+ specialties in total including cardiology, oncology, dermatology, gynaecology, orthopaedics, neurology, dentistry, ophthalmology, pulmonology, paediatrics, and more.
🇦🇪 UAE-specific note: UAE Ministry of Health, DHA, DOH, and WHO documentation are all considered credible sources and actively encouraged as references in your article.

Promotional & sponsored content
A note on sponsored submissions
We publish sponsored articles, hospital profiles, doctor features, medical tourism guides, and branded health content separately from our editorial stream. Sponsored content is clearly labelled on the published page.
If your submission is primarily promotional — focused on a specific UAE hospital, clinic, or medical tourism package — it will be redirected to our sponsored content process. Many UAE healthcare organisations find the sponsored content route more suitable for their objectives.
Yes. We accept contributions from healthcare professionals and writers based anywhere in the UAE — Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain.
Are the backlinks do-follow?
Yes. The standard contributor link is do-follow and permanent. We do not remove published content or expire links.

Does the content need to be about the UAE specifically?
No. Clinical accuracy and genuine value to our readership matters more than geography.
Can UAE hospitals use this platform to reach Indian patients?

Are UAE Ministry of Health guidelines acceptable as sources?
