Steps to open a dental clinic in Dubai – UAE  : Owning a legitimate medical degree or equivalent qualification?

Your dream of opening a dental clinic is no longer a dream. If you are a medical professional, setting up a clinic is only few steps away.

UAE became the world leader in a large number of aspects, so the population keeps on emerging. As the population increases all the other utilities increase. Enlargement of industries and companies all over UAE, enhances the need of medical services too. The country ensures providing best healthcare to its residents and thus opportunity is given for healthcare players to step into the healthcare industry of UAE.

Each and every query related to the healthcare services will be answered and taken into account by DHA – Dubai Healthcare Authority. 2007 is the year this authority was established with an objective to regulate and monitor the operations of medical professionals, hospitals and other healthcare service providers. Hence, approval from DHA is the foremost and mandatory thing for the whole process.

How to get Dental Clinic Licence

• Trade Name Reservation
• Department of Economic Development’s approval
• DHA’s initial approval
• Documents execution
• DED’s Final approval
• License by DHA

Trade Name Reservation for Dental Clinic

The investor needs to select a trade name in which the clinic will be opened. It will be sent to DED for the initial stage of approval. This is to get required license from the authorized boards. When the trade name is reserved and approved, further process of setting up the clinic starts.

Department of Economic Development’s approval

You need to fill up an online application for getting initial approvals for setting up the clinic. It doesn’t need any big documents required. Instead clinic layouts, investment plan, passport and visas. The Layout plan has to be sent to Dubai Municipality for the approval of the building plan.

DHA’s initial approval

Although the required license for setting up your clinic comes from the Department of Economic Development (DED), you have to get another approval from Dubai Healthcare Authority (DHA). The dentist of the approved clinic has to verify with his qualifications and experience.

Documents execution for Dental Clinic

The investor has to prepare the documents like agreement terms, memorandum, articles of association, clinical lease to register with DED for LLC – Limited Liability Company.

DED’s Final approval

The final approval of registration will be done by DHA and DED once investor’s documents and personal profiles are checked and finalized. You will be navigated to create a profile by DHA on their official website so that they are able to store all your filed documents.

License by DHA for Dental Clinic

You will also be directed to appear for an oral exam or a simple assessment exam by DHA. A healthcare line professional will head this. Once you successfully clear this assessment, your license will be provided, followed by an offer letter, one professional title, facility stamp, insurance coverage, mal practice guidelines and so on.
