Even before the formation of the Union, the rulers of the emirates were working to improve healthcare for the people. One of the first developments occurred in 1943 in the Al Ras area of the emirate of Dubai. A small healthcare centre opened providing basic medical support to the community. By 1951, with the support of the late Sheikh Saeed bin Maktoum, the first phases of the Al Maktoum hospital were being built. Between 1952 and 1973 additional phases of the Al Maktoum hospital were completed eventually accommodating 157 beds
The first clinic in the emirate of Abu Dhabi was established in Al Ain in the 1960s. Sheikh Shakhbut and Sheikh Zayed visited an American mission hospital in Muscat, Oman. During their visit, the two leaders were impressed with the clinic's operations and invited the mission's founders to open a clinic in the Al Ain region of Abu Dhabi. This clinic was called Oasis Hospital and was one of the first modern hospitals in the region
By 1970, the Ministry of Health and Prevention was formed to provide comprehensive healthcare to all citizens and residents of the UAE. While the Ministry of Health and Prevention provides healthcare to the entire country, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah have their own health care authorities that assist in providing quality care. Today, the UAE has one of the most innovative and comprehensive healthcare systems in the world with over 104 hospitals with approximately 20 physicians and 40 nurses/midwives per every 10,000 people in the country
