MEDICAL PROBLEM Feb 03, 2013
Hi,
I have a long standing medical problem of deep depression. I understand this is no problem with VISA but what assistance do I get from the medical authorities in Dubai? Do I get a medical card for free health care? I have my diagnosis from a UK doctor stated in writing. Can I just go to a clinic to get a prescription for my medication?

shadowfactor , anti dperessant are illegal in UAE , only some very mild forms are allowed by prescription. you get nothing in UAE. you have to pay for everything. try these suppliment for depression, they are mood elevators and have anti-anxiety effect

- vit b12 injection 1000mg /iml IM injection once a week

- GABA pills - Gama amino butryic acid - 2 pills per day

Thanks for the reply. I have been told my medication is not illegal in the UAE. I have arranged for a medicine company in the USA to ship me it which they will do on perscription. I can get repeat perscription from either the UK or Dubai. Thanks again.
