Opening a healthcare facility in the UAE requires strict regulatory approval to ensure patient safety, quality of care, and compliance with federal health laws. Whether it is a clinic, hospital, pharmacy, or laboratory, every facility must be licensed by the relevant authority — DHA in Dubai, DOH in Abu Dhabi, or MOHAP in the Northern Emirates.

FAQs – Healthcare Facility Licensing in the UAE
Who issues healthcare facility licenses in the UAE?
Facility licenses are issued by DHA (Dubai), DOH (Abu Dhabi), and MOHAP (Northern Emirates). Each authority has its own portal and requirements.
What type of license do I need for my facility?
It depends on the facility: clinics, hospitals, pharmacies, laboratories, or rehabilitation centers each require specific licensing processes.
Can I open a clinic in Dubai or Abu Dhabi without a license?
No. Operating a healthcare facility without a license is illegal and may result in fines, closure, and permanent disqualification.
How much does a facility license cost in the UAE?
Licensing costs typically range from AED 10,000 – 50,000+ depending on facility type, inspections, and authority charges.
How long does it take to get a facility license?
The process usually takes 3–6 months, depending on facility complexity, inspections, and approval speed.
Do I need separate licenses for staff and the facility?
Yes. Professionals require their own DHA/DOH/MOHAP licenses, while the facility itself must also be licensed.
What inspections are required?
Authorities typically inspect facility design, infection control measures, safety systems, and staffing compliance before granting approval.
