Mirutula Sivakumar shared a video on Instagram after hurting her leg and visiting a hospital in Dubai. Recalling the experience, she said that the consultation took only 5 minutes and the entire process, including getting a cast and medication, was completed within an hour.<\/p>\n

“I hurt my leg, so I came to the hospital. It took me 5 minutes for consultation, and the whole process took one hour. They even asked if I have flat feet, and they did the cast accordingly,” she said in the video.<\/p>\n

She added that the hospital also provided her with a CD containing her medical information, which she could show at another hospital, along with her medications. “All of this took within one hour. I remember being in the UK, in the emergency room, waiting for six hours for a consultation,” Sivakumar said.<\/p>\n

Sharing her appreciation for the healthcare experience in Dubai, she added, “I’m really, truly blessed to call this place my home. The healthcare here, this is something that you cannot take for granted.”<\/p>\n

Sivakumar shared the video with the caption, “Have been spoilt by this city for 20+ years and I’m truly grateful to call this place my home.”<\/p>\n

Social media reactions<\/p>\n

The video sparked a discussion among social media users, with several people sharing similar experiences of healthcare in the UAE and the UK.<\/p>\n

“Going through same situation was in the UK as well live in Dubai now very true and grateful to the country,” one user wrote.<\/p>\n

“We’ve been spoiled by the UAE-few countries can match its level of hospitality and service,” commented another.<\/p>\n

A third user criticised the UK’s healthcare system, saying, “UK is shockingly bad with health care……..though British think their healthcare system is best in entire world and they are not ready to listen even slightest criticism about it.”<\/p>\n

However, one user said, “You cannot compare apples to oranges.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dubai is often praised for its modern infrastructure, convenience and access to services.
