Terms of Use

Under legal review. This page sets out the terms for using the Vital Mena website. The clinic's legal adviser is checking the final wording. The legal name of the clinic's operating company, and the firms that store patient records, will be added when that review is done.

About these terms

These terms cover how you use this website. They sit alongside the privacy policy, which explains how the clinic handles the details you give it. Using the site means you accept them.

The information on this website

Pages here are written for adults who want to understand a breathing, lung or sleep problem. They are educational. They do not replace individual medical advice, and reading one is not the same as a consultation. Each article is reviewed by Dr. Mohammad Fawzi Katranji before publication, and the reviewer's name and the date of the last review sit at the top of the page.

Symptoms and emergencies

Nothing on this site is a diagnosis, and it is not a way to get urgent help. In a breathing emergency, call 998 or go to the nearest emergency department. If a symptom is getting worse, or you are unsure how serious it is, contact the clinic rather than wait.

Appointments and messages

You can ask for an appointment in person in Dubai or by video consultation, and you do not need a referral to ask. The appointment form asks for your name, your mobile number and what the appointment is about. The clinic replies using the details you give, and a message sent through this site is for arranging care.

Links to other websites

Articles cite national health services, professional societies and peer-reviewed research, and link to those pages. Other organisations run those sites. The clinic does not control what they publish or how they handle your details, and a link is not an endorsement.

Your details and the law

The privacy policy explains how the clinic handles your details. Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 covers personal data, Federal Law No. 2 of 2019 covers health data, and Dubai Health Authority rules apply to the clinic as well.

Changes to these terms

When the terms change, the new version appears on this page. Legal review is not yet complete, so the wording may still change.

Questions

If something on this page is unclear, contact the clinic and ask before you book.
