There are not many government hospitals in Ras al Khaimah, and they are mostly open to health cards holders and for emergency cases only. Opened in 2007, RAK Hospital is the only private hospital in the Emirate. Many private clinics with various specializations are also available. In addition, hospitals in Sharjah and Dubai are reachable within one and a half hours by car. By the year 2010 the Ras Al Khaimah Ministry of Health plans to open an additional three new hospitals – Sheikh Khalifa Hospital, Al Nakheel Hospital and Abdullah Rashid Omran Hospital in the district of Humraniya. The ministry is also planning to set up a number of small medical mobile units to service patients in remote areas. Additionally, some privately run hospitals will offer specialized medical services in the near future.
