About Neurology in the UAE
Neurologists in the UAE manage stroke, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and migraine. The UAE’s ageing expatriate population and high rates of lifestyle-related neurological conditions have created strong need for experienced neurologists with subspecialty expertise in stroke intervention or movement disorders.
