Why healthcare founders choose MedGrowth
The UAE has no single national health regulator — licensing is split across DHA, DOH, MOHAP and free zones like DHCC, each with its own portals and rules. That fragmentation is the single biggest reason healthcare projects stall.
One partner for every regulator
We manage DHA, DOH, MOHAP, DHCC/DHCR and FANR so you never juggle four agencies.
Setup AND scale
We don't disappear after your license is issued — we stay through accreditation, empanelment and growth.
In-network from day one
We start insurance empanelment early so you bill paying patients the week you open, not months later.
Growth-focused, not paperwork-focused
Every engagement is measured against your patient volume and revenue, not just a stamped license.
Our 5-phase methodology
Plan → License → Build → Launch → Grow
We run every healthcare project through a proven sequence so nothing is missed and timelines stay predictable — running licensing, fit-out and recruitment in parallel so you open weeks sooner.
Feasibility & Strategy · 2–4 weeks
Validate the opportunity before you spend on it.
Facility & Professional · 6–12 weeks (overlapping)
Secure both licensing tracks in parallel.
Fit-out & Equipment · 8–16 weeks (overlapping)
Turn an empty shell into an inspection-ready facility.
Recruitment, Empanelment & Marketing · 4–8 weeks (overlapping)
Get open with patients and revenue.
RCM, Accreditation & Scale · Ongoing
Turn an open clinic into a profitable, scalable one.
We set up and scale every facility type
Each facility type is a distinct licensing category with its own authority, fit-out standards and cost band. We handle all of them end to end.
Wherever you're opening in the UAE
The UAE has no single national health regulator — each emirate and free zone licenses healthcare businesses separately. We set up and grow clinics in all of them.

What our clients say
We let results do the talking. (Sample testimonials shown — replace with verified client quotes.)
MedGrowth took us from a business plan to a fully licensed, in-network clinic without us ever having to chase a regulator. They felt like part of our team.
Founder
Multispecialty Clinic, Dubai
We'd lost months trying to get our doctors licensed on our own. MedGrowth fixed the DataFlow and Prometric process and had our clinicians practicing in weeks.
Medical Director
Abu Dhabi
Their feasibility study saved us from a bad location. When we did open, we were empanelled with the major insurers from day one.
Investor

Frequently asked questions
Clear, answer-first responses to what healthcare founders ask most about setting up and growing a clinic, hospital or lab in the UAE.
See all questionsIt depends on where you operate. DHA licenses Dubai (outside Dubai Healthcare City), DOH licenses Abu Dhabi, MOHAP covers the Northern Emirates, and DHCC/DHCR licenses facilities inside Dubai Healthcare City. Sharjah also has its own authority (SHA) and free zone (SHCC). We confirm the correct authority for your activity in your consultation.
Yes — 100% foreign ownership is available for most healthcare activities on the mainland (since 2021) and in free zones such as DHCC and SHCC. We structure ownership correctly for your specific activity and emirate.
A standard clinic typically takes around 3–6 months from application to license issuance; hospitals take longer. MedGrowth compresses this by running licensing, fit-out and recruitment in parallel.
JCI is not mandatory for most clinics, but it's the gold standard that medical-tourism patients and insurers increasingly look for. It involves gap analysis, documentation, mock surveys and certification cycles.
