Honest Assessment: Strengths and Limitations
Every hospital has genuine strengths and real tradeoffs. Here is our editorial assessment of NMC Royal Hospital, based on published outcomes data, accreditation records, and patterns reported by verified patients:
✓ Genuine Strengths
- Genuine depth of experience serving South Asian and Filipino patient communities specifically, reflecting Abu Dhabi's workforce demographics
- Fertility treatment programme represents a well-established regional centre of expertise
- Part of a large UAE healthcare network providing institutional stability and referral resources
⚠ Worth Knowing Before You Book
- Less internationally prominent brand than some Dubai-based UAE competitors, requiring more independent research to build confidence
- Strongest specialties (fertility, women's health, paediatrics) may not align with patients seeking complex adult surgical procedures
- Mid-tier pricing position may not represent the most cost-competitive UAE option for procedures outside its core strengths
Patient Reviews
Dr. Shrivastav identified the specific cause of our previous implantation failures that three other clinics had missed. Successful pregnancy achieved on this cycle.
Dr. Hassan's management of my high-risk pregnancy gave me genuine confidence throughout a difficult 9 months. Excellent outcome for both my daughter and me.
Good overall fertility treatment experience. Less flashy than some Dubai clinics I researched but the clinical expertise was clearly there.

Patients booking through InterHealthTour receive dedicated coordination support from first enquiry through post-treatment follow-up, including accommodation booking assistance, airport transfer confirmation, and translation of any documentation you need for your home doctor. We recommend specialist medical tourism insurance for any surgical procedure booked here.
What to Expect: Your Patient Journey
Most international patients booking NMC Royal Hospital through InterHealthTour follow a broadly similar sequence, though timing varies with procedure complexity. It typically begins with a remote consultation — usually video, sometimes a structured written review of your medical records and imaging — during which the treating team, led where relevant by Dr. Pankaj Shrivastav or a colleague in the same department, outlines whether you are a suitable candidate for the procedure you are enquiring about and provides an itemised cost estimate in writing.
Once you confirm and travel dates are set, most patients arrive in Abu Dhabi 1-3 days before the procedure for final pre-operative assessment, blood work, and imaging where needed. Airport transfer coordination and accommodation booking near the hospital are handled by your InterHealthTour coordinator alongside the hospital's own international patient office. Length of hospital stay and total time in UAE depends heavily on the specific procedure — your coordinator will give you a realistic estimate specific to your case during the quote stage rather than a generic figure that may not reflect your actual treatment plan.
Before discharge, you receive full documentation translated into English (and your preferred language where feasible), covering the procedure performed, medication instructions, and a follow-up schedule. For fertility and womens health procedures specifically, NMC Royal Hospital's international patient team typically arranges at least one video follow-up consultation after you return home, with further calls available if you have questions during recovery.
Recovery, Aftercare and Staying in Touch
Recovery expectations vary enormously by procedure, and NMC Royal Hospital's care team will set out a realistic timeline specific to your treatment during your pre-operative consultation rather than a generic estimate. What is consistent across procedures booked through InterHealthTour at this hospital is the availability of a discharge summary in your language, a clear medication and activity schedule, and a named point of contact for questions once you are back home — not left to guess whether a symptom during recovery is normal or worth flagging.
If a complication does arise after you return home, NMC Royal Hospital's international patient office can liaise directly with your local doctor, sharing your full treatment records and imaging on request. This kind of continuity is one of the more practically important, if less glamorous, things worth confirming before booking any procedure abroad — ask your coordinator specifically how this would work for your case before you travel, rather than assuming it will be straightforward.
Who This Hospital Tends to Suit Best
Based on the pattern of bookings InterHealthTour has coordinated with NMC Royal Hospital, patients who tend to be most satisfied are specifically those seeking fertility or womens health care, comfortable with English, Arabic, Hindi and Tagalog as the primary languages of communication, and who have done at least some independent comparison against one or two other accredited options in UAE or elsewhere before committing. Patients whose needs sit clearly within this hospital's stated specialties tend to report the most consistent outcomes.
As with any medical tourism decision, this profile is a starting point for your own research rather than a substitute for it. We encourage you to request an itemised quote, ask the specific questions raised in the FAQ section above, and — for anything beyond routine, low-risk procedures — seek a second opinion before travelling. See our medical tourism safety guide for a fuller checklist applicable to any clinic you are considering, not just this one.
A Note on Cost Transparency
Published price ranges from NMC Royal Hospital, starting from $2,200 for its most accessible listed procedures, reflect quotes collected as of Q1 2025 and are deliberately shown as ranges rather than single figures — the width of that range usually comes down to case complexity, anaesthesia requirements, length of hospital stay, and whether any complications or additional treatment are needed once your surgeon has actually assessed you in person, not just from photographs or a written history. Treat any quote you receive before an in-person or thorough video assessment as provisional. A reputable clinic, including this one, should be willing to explain in plain terms what could move your specific price toward the top or bottom of the published range, and should confirm the final itemised cost in writing before your procedure date, not verbally on the day.
