Why is medical test so expensive here?! Nov 14, 2007
Is anyone considering doing a full blood test - you know one of those regular check ups EVERYONE should do at least once a year? Well I checked around the hospitals/clinics and it costs AED 1,300 for a full blood test. Isnt this like day light robbery?

I also heard some send zee blood to S Africa for testing! :shock:

I did a whole medical check up, blood test, etc. And it was nowhere near that (as I recall)

I'll give you number if you are interest. Female doctor. You can call and find out, etc.

This is for residency though, they do not share the results with you, nor do bloodwork for other abnormalities.
