About Dubai Healthcare City Authority
Dubai Healthcare City Authority oversees Dubai Healthcare City (DHCC), a free zone launched in 2002 to develop healthcare, medical education and wellness services in Dubai.
The free zone is home to hospitals, specialist clinics, diagnostic centres, pharmacies, medical education institutions and healthcare companies. It is located in Oud Metha, with a second phase in Al Jaddaf along Dubai Creek.
DHCC has its own regulatory body, the Dubai Healthcare City Regulatory, which licenses healthcare professionals and facilities within the zone and sets standards.
Its tenants have included international hospital brands and specialist centres, attracting patients from the UAE and abroad. Medical tourism is part of its strategy.
The zone also hosts the Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences, supporting medical education and research.
Healthcare businesses can benefit from free zone ownership rules and a concentration of medical services in one district.
