Opening a medical clinic in Dubai involves one-time setup costs and ongoing operational costs. Setup includes trade license and regulatory fees (DHA facility licensing, approvals), fit-out and medical equipment, IT and EMR, and initial inventory. Costs vary significantly with location (mainland vs free zone), size, and specialty.
Ongoing costs include rent, salaries, utilities, insurance, CME and compliance, and marketing. Mainland clinics may face higher rent in prime areas; free zones offer tax benefits but have specific rules. A detailed business plan should account for at least the first 12 to 24 months of operation.
We support clients with feasibility studies, licensing cost estimates, and regulatory budgeting so they can plan their investment realistically.
