Al Amal Psychiatric Hospital, under the Emirates Health Services (EHS), stands as a premier mental health institution in the Middle East.

Since the inauguration of its new facility in December 2016, Al Amal has been dedicated to providing comprehensive mental health services to patients across Dubai and the Northern Emirates. The hospital's commitment to excellence is evident in its diverse range of outpatient clinics, including those specializing in child and adolescent psychiatry, adult psychiatry, geriatric psychiatry, addiction treatment, intellectual disabilities, and forensic psychiatry. Additionally, Al Amal offers separated wards for men and women, a dedicated addiction ward, community programs, and supportive medical services such as electroconvulsive therapy, occupational therapy, and laboratory services.
Al Amal Psychiatric Hospital is at the forefront of integrating innovative technologies into mental health care.

This cutting-edge approach aims to address various psychological challenges, including anxiety, internet addiction, and behavioral issues associated with autism spectrum disorders. The hospital also emphasizes early detection and intervention for mental health conditions.

These initiatives are supported by electronic systems that streamline screening and referral processes, ensuring timely and effective care.
