Expert care for children with kidney conditions

Our Pediatric Nephrology clinic within our Kidney Center of Excellence at Al Jalila Children’s Hospital is dedicated to providing compassionate, expert care for children with kidney conditions. As one of the most advanced pediatric facilities in the UAE, we offer comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services for a wide range of acute and chronic kidney conditions, for children of all ages.

We understand that living with a kidney disorder can be challenging for both children and their families. We are here to support you, not just with medical care but with resources to help ease the social and emotional impact of a kidney condition, and to make the treatment process as smooth as possible for your little one.

Our multidisciplinary team, including pediatric nephrologists, clinical nurse specialists, and nutritionists, works closely together and with other specialists across Dubai Health to ensure that your child receives the best possible care.
