Delivering Exceptional Healthcare

Aviation Medicine Service At University Hospital Sharjah

University Hospital Sharjah (UHS) now offers Aviation Medicine services, a branch of medicine that examines the health of airline personel. UHS is the first Hospital that has an independent Aviation Medicine clinic within its premises.

It has senior Aviation Medical Examiners (AME) on board. They are designated by the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) and given the authority to perform physical examination of the licence holders and issue medical certificates if, they meet regulatory requirements.

As any health problem of a pilot may affect the safety of hundreds of passengers, doctors check the physical and mental health of the pilots including the blood pressure and order diagnostic tests such as ECG or Stress Test. Senior aeromedicine examiners advise pilots about proper diet, exercise and preventive measures to be taken.

Pilots are familiar with pre-flight checklists to ensure than an aircraft is safe and ready to fly. Equally important is the fact that the pilot and co-pilot should be physically fit and psychologically sound to safely perform their duties.

There are various reasons that could impair a pilot’s ability and render a flight unsafe, such as physical illness, medication, stress, alcohol, fatigue and emotion.

All pilots need to have a valid medical certificate for flight.

The Aviation Medicine clinic at UHS is approved by GCAA. The clinic has a team of eight GCAA approved Aviation Medicine physicians and four certified aviation medicine nurses. The team includes two senior Aeromedical Examiners, two Aeromedical examiners, and three specialists in Cardiology, ENT and Ophthalmology.

UHS Aviation Medicine clinic is one of the only two GCAA approved independent aviation medicine providers in the UAE that can provide a full range of aviation medicals.

The Aviation Medicine clinic offers a comprehensive range of services, including Initial Examination for Cabin Crew and Air Traffic Controllers.

The Clinic is located at a specially designated area within UHS. The staff has expertise in internal medicine, occupational medicine, psychiatry and pulmonary medicine.
