The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) plans to open new visa medical fitness centres including one in Karama soon to meet the huge demand.
Recently opened centers include one in Al Quoz 3 for visa renewals and a new women-only wing in Al Muhaisnah, which is open 24 hours.
Earlier, expatriates had complained that tokens run out within minutes of standing in the queue. The tokens allow the various stages of getting the papers processed.
