Our Gulf Office

International and Private Care at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children (GOSH) treats children from around the world. Many of our patients come from the Gulf region and to support them we have a regional office in Dubai Healthcare City which was established on 23rd January 2006.

Whilst we do not offer any clinical services, our Gulf Office team can provide children and families with information and advice about seeking and receiving treatment at GOSH, primarily before and after travelling to London. 

The principal aims of our Gulf Office are to:

• Improve children and families experience particularly before and after traveling to GOSH.
• Provide support and information to referrers and embassies
• Maintain and develop the profile of GOSH as a centre of excellence for children’s healthcare.
• Develop the international business of the hospital to enable us to continue to improve and develop new services.
