Default Renew Health Card
Hello,

My health card (issued by UAE Ministry of Health) is up for renewal. I got the card at the time of resident visa (its mandatory).

Should I renew the card (it costs around 500.00)?

I have never used the card nor do I know its purpose. I have purchased my own private health insurance. Colleagues who've been in Dubai for few years claim that they never renew the card. Its only at the time of visa renewal that the card is required.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks
miky
