A DHA facility licence is the Dubai Health Authority’s permit for the premises of a hospital, clinic, medical centre, diagnostic centre or pharmacy. Without it, no healthcare facility in mainland Dubai can legally treat a patient or advertise. The same rule covers every Dubai free zone except Dubai Healthcare City, which has its own regulator, DHCR. Holding the licence shows your premises meet the emirate’s healthcare standards.
A facility licence covers the place, not the people. Each doctor, nurse and healthcare worker on your team needs a separate DHA professional licence to practise, and those licences only go live once your facility licence does. You need both, a licensed premises and a licensed team inside it, before the first patient walks in.
Consultycs handles the facility side from start to finish, alongside the company structure behind it: the right category, the proposal, the documents, NABIDH connectivity and a premises ready for inspection.
We match your healthcare model to the correct DHA category and activity code. That one choice sets your fees, your layout rules and what the inspector checks.
Mainland Dubai and Dubai Healthcare City answer to different regulators. We confirm who licenses your premises before you sign, so the unit you rent can actually be licensed.
We prepare your documents, submit the facility proposal on DHA's Sheryan portal and walk the premises with you before DHA's inspectors arrive.
Your medical record system has to connect to NABIDH, Dubai's unified health record exchange. We coordinate that early, because it is often the last item to clear.
We set your facility up to pass inspection and stay compliant after opening, not just to get a licence issued.
We will never share your details with any third-party

Please check our Privacy policy to see how we protect and manage your submitted data.Registration is not a blanket rule for every company. It applies to financial institutions and to designated non-financial businesses and professions (DNFBPs), including:
A free zone licence does not take you out of scope. The federal AML law applies across the UAE, and where you are licensed changes who supervises you, not whether the rules apply.
Registration is only the start. Once you are in scope, five duties apply:
Appoint a UAE resident Money Laundering Reporting Officer senior enough to act independently, with a direct line to senior management.
Every designated entity needs a goAML account, since this is where Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) are filed.
Verify each customer's identity and assess their risk before the relationship begins.
Transaction records, customer records, STRs, training logs and risk assessments all count.
Role-based sessions, refreshed annually, for client-facing staff, the compliance team and senior management.
We check whether your business activity falls into a designated category that has to register.
We complete your pre-registration on the FIU’s SACM portal, then your full organisation registration on goAML.
We draft your AML policy, business risk assessment and internal controls around how you actually operate.
We help you select and formally appoint an MLRO who is UAE-resident and properly qualified.
After go-live, we run staff training, keep records in order and step in whenever a reporting obligation comes up.
