Welcome to Al Jalila Children's Hospital
At Al Jalila Children's Hospital, we are dedicated to providing compassionate, comprehensive care for children from birth through to 18 years, all within a safe and family-friendly environment. We opened our doors in 2016 and are the UAE's only standalone children's hospital, proudly serving our diverse communities and striving for every child to have access to expert care for their optimal health and wellbeing.
With all pediatric specialties under one roof, your child receives the specialized care they need - whether it’s common childhood illness, or your little one requires specialist diagnosis and treatment, we offer 360-degree expertise across multiple medical and surgical specialties. These include in Cardiac Care, Kidney Care and Kidney Transplantation, Neurosciences, Dermatology, Pediatric Critical Care and Pediatric Oncology, as well as Neonatology for our youngest newborn arrivals.
We are committed to bringing the latest therapies and procedures to our region, so that families can access advanced treatment closer to home rather than traveling abroad. This includes our gene therapy program introduced in 2020 - a revolutionary program for the UAE, and one of the world’s largest programs for the genetic condition, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
At Al Jalila Children’s Hospital, we are here for you. If your child is unwell or in need of specialized medical treatment, you can put your trust in us as we are dedicated to ensuring your child’s health, comfort and safety are our highest priority. We are here to support your child and your whole family through every step of their healthcare journey.
