Specialist, Obstetrics & Genecology Abu Dhabi UAE Full-time NEW

Fetal medicine at a regional  referral centre is a different clinical environment from standard obstetrics and gynaecology practice. Danat Al Emarat is one of the very few hospitals in the UAE to combine a dedicated Fetal Medicine Department with a Level III NICU, making it a destination for the most complex maternal-fetal cases in the region. This specialist role spans the full OB/GYN scope — routine and high-risk antenatal care, intrapartum management, postnatal care, and gynaecological services — while adding specialist fetal medicine responsibilities including detailed ultrasound assessment, prenatal screening, and management of fetal conditions in collaboration with neonatology, genetics, and radiology. If your post-specialisation experience includes formal fetal medicine training and you are ready to practise within a tertiary-level women’s hospital, this role reflects both the clinical complexity and the collaborative environment you are looking for.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide specialist-level care across obstetrics and gynaecology including antenatal, intrapartum, postnatal, and gynaecological services. Manage both routine presentations and complex high-risk cases within your approved scope of practice.
• Deliver dedicated fetal medicine services including detailed fetal ultrasound assessments, prenatal screening, anomaly evaluation, and ongoing monitoring of high-risk pregnancies throughout the antenatal period.
• Manage obstetric complications and fetal conditions collaboratively. Work closely with neonatology, radiology, clinical genetics, and other specialties to coordinate multidisciplinary care plans for complex maternal-fetal cases.
• Perform gynaecological procedures and manage elective and minor surgeries within your credentialed scope. Maintain procedural standards aligned with DOH regulations and hospital clinical governance requirements.
• Conduct outpatient clinics, complete inpatient rounds, and fulfil emergency on-call duties as rostered. Respond to obstetric and fetal emergencies with clinical confidence and appropriate escalation.
• Maintain accurate, timely, and compliant clinical documentation across all patient encounters. Adhere to hospital policies and DOH documentation standards without exception.
• Participate in clinical audits, quality improvement initiatives, multidisciplinary case discussions, and continuing medical education activities. Contribute to the department’s ongoing development of clinical standards and protocols.
• Uphold patient safety, ethical practice, and clinical governance frameworks across all aspects of your role.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Medical Degree (MBBS or equivalent) with recognised specialisation in Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
• Formal specialist qualification — Arab Board, MRCOG, FCPS, or equivalent — from a recognised institution.
• Formal training and demonstrated clinical experience in Fetal Medicine, including prenatal diagnosis, detailed fetal ultrasound, and high-risk pregnancy management.
• Minimum 3–5 years of post-specialisation clinical experience, preferably within a tertiary, women’s, or maternal-fetal medicine hospital setting.
• Valid DOH Abu Dhabi licence to practise, or clear eligibility and readiness to obtain one prior to commencement.
• Strong clinical judgement with the ability to manage complex obstetric and fetal presentations independently and within a multidisciplinary team.
• Excellent communication skills and a patient-centred approach. Ability to engage sensitively with women and families navigating high-risk pregnancy diagnoses and outcomes.
• Proven ability to work effectively within a collaborative maternal-fetal care team spanning obstetrics, neonatology, radiology, and genetics.

What You’ll Gain

• A specialist clinical platform at one of Abu Dhabi’s most recognised women’s and children’s hospitals — a regional referral centre for high-risk pregnancies where the case complexity, Level III NICU collaboration, and dedicated Fetal Medicine Department create a practice environment that is genuinely rare in the UAE.
• Institutional support from M42, a global healthcare group spanning more than 480 facilities in 27 countries, with the governance frameworks, precision medicine infrastructure, and professional standards that come with operating at that scale.
• A competitive, tax-free compensation package benchmarked at AED 45,000–70,000/month at specialist level, with the final figure reflecting post-specialisation experience, fetal medicine expertise, and procedural scope — consistent with DOH-regulated specialist remuneration in Abu Dhabi.
• A multidisciplinary clinical environment where your fetal medicine expertise sits alongside neonatology, genetics, radiology, and women’s health specialists — creating both daily collaborative depth and long-term subspecialty development opportunities within Danat Al Emarat and the broader M42 network.
