How to Set Up a Multi-Specialty Medical Center in Dubai
Whether you’re a group of doctors or a healthcare investor, this guide will walk you through everything you need — with support from Aura Health Solutions every step of the way.
1️⃣ Why Dubai Is Ideal for Multi-Specialty Clinics
Dubai’s population is growing rapidly, and so is the demand for integrated healthcare services. Opening a center that offers general medicine, pediatrics, dermatology, orthopedics, and more — all under one roof — is both profitable and impactful. ❤️
✨ Plus, the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) actively supports high-quality private healthcare investment.
2️⃣ Business Structure & Initial Approvals
Before you set up a multi-specialty medical center in Dubai, you’ll need to:
- Choose your business structure (LLC, Sole Establishment, etc.)
- Reserve a trade name
- Get initial approval from the Department of Economic Development (DED)
- Apply for DHA facility pre-approval
3️⃣ Facility Design & Infrastructure Requirements
DHA has strict facility design standards depending on the services provided. Your medical center must include:
- Adequate space for patient flow
- Accessibility for people of determination ♿
- Clean/sterile zones and waste management systems
- Emergency preparation areas
4️⃣ Licensing Each Specialty & Hiring Staff
Each department in a multi-specialty medical center requires:
- Room and equipment licenses
- DHA-licensed healthcare professionals
- A registered medical director
5️⃣ Final Inspection & DHA Approval
Once your clinic is ready, DHA will perform a final inspection. If all standards are met, you’ll be granted your operational license.
