Results:-The study found that so far, there has been no substantial research done, to assess the effect of integration of robotics on the hiring of healthcare human resources in the health care industry of United Arab Emirates. Furthermore, if the integration of robots is done at full swing, in the healthcare industry of U.A.E., the number of doctors would be lesser by 3449 and the number of nurses would get lesser by 6208. But at the same time the research indicates that with the integration of robots, there is a possibility that in future it would generate better job prospects and more employment than anticipated. Conclusion:-The research concludes that integration of robotics is an inevitable choice that private and government healthcare organizations in United Arab Emirates would have to make because of its practical implications which involves working in challenging and sometimes unhealthy working environment.
