Planning Your Dubai Healthcare City Company

Choose a Structure That Fits Your Expansion Plans

One-line description: Select a registration structure based on whether you are launching a new company or expanding an existing organisation.

A Free Zone Limited Liability Company provides a separate company structure for a new DHCC business. Existing organisations can consider a branch of a UAE company or a foreign company.

The choice affects the corporate documents required and the relationship between the DHCC operation and its shareholders or parent company. Confirm the structure alongside your intended activities before preparing the application.

Separate Commercial Registration From Clinical Permissions

One-line description: Plan company formation and healthcare approvals together so your business can progress towards lawful operation.

Commercial registration establishes your business within DHCC. A clinical project must also satisfy the healthcare requirements relevant to its proposed services.

Dubai Law No. 16 of 2024 requires relevant DHA licences and permits for healthcare activities within DHCC, alongside applicable DHCA approvals. Your project plan should account for premises, professional credentials and any inspections or other conditions required before opening.

Allow Time for Your Facility and Application Requirements

One-line description: Build a realistic launch schedule around document readiness, premises preparation and authority reviews.

The published initial approval timeframe is one stage of the process. Your overall schedule also depends on:

  • Completeness of shareholder and company documents
  • Review of the proposed business activities
  • Availability and suitability of premises
  • Fit-out and facility preparation
  • Additional approvals and inspections
  • Professional licensing, where applicable
  • Immigration applications for eligible investors and staff

Confirm these stages before committing to an opening date.
