When facing a medical issue, it’s crucial to know whether to call an emergency home doctor or an ambulance. In Dubai, home doctors provide urgent medical care at home for non-life-threatening conditions, while an ambulance is necessary for critical, life-threatening emergencies requiring immediate hospitalization.

When to Call an Ambulance?

You should call 999 immediately if you or someone else is experiencing:

Severe chest pain (possible heart attack)
Difficulty breathing or choking
Uncontrolled heavy bleeding
Loss of consciousness or seizures
Severe trauma, fractures, or head injuries
Stroke symptoms (sudden confusion, slurred speech, paralysis)
Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis)

These emergencies require specialized hospital care and fast transportation via ambulance.

When to Call an Emergency Home Doctor?

If the condition is urgent but not life-threatening, a home doctor can provide immediate medical attention without a hospital visit. Call a home doctor for:

Fever, flu, or infections (not responding to medication)
Mild to moderate breathing issues (asthma, bronchitis)
Stomach pain, nausea, or food poisoning
Dehydration requiring IV fluids
Allergic reactions (without severe breathing issues)
Minor injuries, cuts, or burns
Migraine, dizziness, or mild weakness

A home doctor arrives within 30 to 60 minutes and provides treatment on-site, avoiding unnecessary hospital trips.

How Fast Can a Home Doctor Arrive?

In Dubai, home doctors are available 24/7 and typically reach your location within 30-60 minutes, depending on traffic and availability.
