Abu Dhabi Psychiatric Hospital – a 163-bed facility
Abu Dhabi Rehabilitation Center – an 88-bed facility that was serving mainly as a nursing home for the elderly and people with special needs
Al Jazeera Hospital – built in the 1970s, a 300-bed acute care medical facility which was open for expatriates who lived on Abu Dhabi island only
Preventive Medicine Clinic
Primary Healthcare Clinics – nine clinics dispersed across the island
Sheikh Khalifa Medical Center – commissioned in 2000, it is a 250-bed acute care medical facility which was open only for UAE nationals
