DUBAI’S TRANSFORMATION PLAN 2
Dubai’s Transformation Plan from Fee-For-Service to Value-Based Care
Statistics shows that healthcare is one of the sectors undergoing dramatic growth
globally. In the Emirates of Dubai, the insurance system has witnessed a tremendous growth in
the recent years. On the other hand, the current trend of the U.S healthcare industry exhibits
considerable declination in the cost and size within a few years that have elapsed (Rice et al.,
2016). This has been as a result of the stakeholders such as providers and suppliers who have
delivered poor services in the healthcare industry. Basically, this paper seeks to address the
comparisons between the U.S insurance system and the insurance system of Emirates in Dubai.
According to Alkhamis et al. (2014), the health insurance system of Dubai ensures that
quality services are available and accessible to all of its citizens. Furthermore, the federal
government significantly provides insurance cover to its people. Contrary, the health insurance
system of U.S lacks the support from the government to a point where the system experiences
serious problems. These problems primarily emanate from the filthy political environment as
well as gamesmanship.
The United States spends a substantial amount of money on healthcare insurance systems
as compared to other industrialized nations like the Emirates both in regard to per capita and
gross domestic product percentages. Contrary, this spending does not reflect the outcomes, for
example, the expectancy of life at birth. In addition, the U.S. government does not provide
universal health insurance to its citizens (Popescu, 2014). Nevertheless, Emirates of Dubai offers
its citizens a wide range of health insurance cover (Shahraz et al., 2014).
