Sharjah Health Authority (SHA) has partnered with Medcare Hospitals and Medical Centres to improve access to affordable private healthcare for government employees in Sharjah and their families, with special benefits for elderly residents and People of Determination.
The agreement offers discounted rates across a range of medical services, including support for government employees and their family members aged 65 and above. Uninsured residents with disabilities and other priority community groups can also access reduced-rate services, helping address barriers to private healthcare.
The partnership extends to Medcare’s home healthcare services, including doctor-on-call consultations, home physiotherapy, short-term nursing care, wound care, injections and specialised intravenous (IV) therapy.
