About Aster Hospital Al Qusais
When Aster opened its Al Qusais hospital in 2019, the intention was clear: to build the most capable and accessible private tertiary care facility in the eastern Dubai corridor, an area with a large and diverse resident population that had historically been underserved by premium private healthcare. The hospital was designed with that population in mind. Its multilingual medical team speaks over 20 languages, its 150-bed inpatient capacity accommodates patients needing extended care, and its specialist depth covers virtually every medical discipline a community might need.
The hospital sits on Beirut Street (9A Street) in Al Qusais Industrial Area 2, within easy reach of the DAFZA Metro Station, making it accessible for residents travelling from across Dubai’s eastern suburbs without a car. Aster Pharmacy operates on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week, ensuring patients can access medications at any hour even outside the hospital’s standard outpatient timings.
Patient reviews from across healthcare platforms highlight the oncology and neonatology departments in particular, with several patients specifically praising the oncology team led by Dr. Pranay Taori and Dr. Sivaprakash Rathanaswamy, and the ICU nursing staff for their dedication and compassion. The hospital’s general and laparoscopic surgery team, led in part by Dr. Abdul Rehman, has also received consistent commendations from patients who have undergone abdominal procedures here.
