Six licensed healthcare facilities for sale in Dubai, AED 2.2 million to AED 65 million.
Opening a new clinic in Dubai means clearing the full DHA process before you see a single patient: facility licensing, specialty approvals, layout sign-off, fit-out, inspection and practitioner licensing. Buying an existing facility means that work is already done and already paid for.
Price depends far more on licensed scope, trading status and lease terms than on floor area. A dormant facility is priced on replacement cost - what it would take to licence, fit out and equip from scratch - while a trading one is priced on earnings. Fit-out age and location drive much of the rest.
Yes. A DHA healthcare facility licence can transfer as part of a business sale, but it is a regulated process, not an automatic one. The buyer must satisfy DHA requirements on ownership, management and clinical governance, and the facility must remain compliant with the standards in force at the time of transfer.
Two things buyers routinely underestimate. First, specialty approvals attach to the facility, not the owner - which is why a licence with broad approved scope is worth materially more than the same premises with a narrow one. Second, a dormant licence may carry reactivation conditions, so establish in due diligence what DHA requires to bring it back.

Clinic name, exact address, licence file, financials and equipment register are released only after this.
Licence file, specialty schedule, itemised asset register, tenancy contract, and financial statements where the facility trades.
Arranged discreetly, outside operating hours where confidentiality requires it.
Terms agreed, then licence transfer, company transfer and tenancy assignment.
Yes. Clinic names, exact addresses and financial information are withheld from public listings and released only to buyers who have signed a non-disclosure agreement.
Yes. Foreign ownership of healthcare businesses is permitted in Dubai, including 100% ownership in most structures. Ownership rules interact with licensing requirements, so confirm the structure before making an offer.
No. A clinic can be owned by a non-clinician, but the facility must appoint a licensed medical director and maintain the clinical governance structure DHA requires.
Typically three to six months from signed NDA to completed transfer, depending on how quickly the buyer completes due diligence and how straightforward the licence and tenancy transfers are.
It depends. Where a facility trades, staff can often transfer with the labour establishment file. Where a facility is dormant, there is usually no team in place and the buyer recruits fresh.
Some UAE banks lend against licensed healthcare assets, particularly where there is a trading history and a transferable lease. Terms vary considerably by lender and buyer profile.
No. The asking price buys the business, licence and assets. Rent is an ongoing obligation under the tenancy contract, which transfers subject to landlord approval.
