Someone with Crohns relocating to Abu Dhabi is it possible to get your infusions (Infliximab) administered here instead of having to fly back to the UK every 12 weeks

Any info would be appreciated as I've been offered a job but this could be the breaking point

Yes, Infliximab vials are available in Abu Dhabi, Mediclinic Airport Road, Burjeel Hospital and NMC hospital have it. You might wanna call on these hospitals first to confirm and check for appointment for your convenience. Try Cleveland Clinic too.

It depends on the type of insurance you have, for Daman Basic for sure it is not covered. You can inquire about this on the hospital itself because some insurance covered these things.
