The Reality

Opening a Clinic Requires Two Separate Licences

Most healthcare professionals don’t know this until they’re already mid-process. You need a personal practitioner licence AND a facility licence — from different authorities, with different documents, different timelines, and different processes. We manage both.

😓
Without the Right Support
Your personal licence and facility licence handled by two different companies — no coordination
Facility licence applied for before personal licence is confirmed — causes rejection
Staff hiring begins before licensing is finalised — expensive delays
DHA, DOH, or MOH requirements missed for your specific clinic type
Months of back-and-forth with authorities — no clear timeline
✅
With gccmedlicense.com
Personal licence and facility licence managed in parallel — saving months
Eligibility confirmed before any fees are paid — no wasted applications
Staff licensing for your clinic team managed end to end
All DHA, DOH, and MOH requirements verified upfront for your clinic type
One WhatsApp contact — we coordinate everything between the two sides

Common Questions

Your Clinic Setup Questions Answered

Yes. UAE health authorities require the clinic owner or lead practitioner to hold a valid personal medical licence before a facility licence can be fully activated. This is why we manage both processes in parallel — your personal licence and your facility licence run simultaneously to save time.
It depends on the emirate. DHA issues facility licences for clinics in Dubai. DOH issues them for Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. MOH (MOHAP) covers clinics in Sharjah, RAK, Ajman, Fujairah, and UAQ. The same authority that licences your clinic also needs to licence you personally as a practitioner.
The facility licence typically takes 4–8 months depending on clinic type, emirate, and design compliance requirements. Your personal practitioner licence runs in parallel — usually 3–6 months. Running both simultaneously means your clinic can open sooner than if you did them sequentially. We map the full timeline in your first consultation.
You can begin the facility licensing process and design work before your personal licence is complete. However, final facility activation requires your personal licence to be issued. We sequence everything so there is no wasted time — facility preparation runs while your personal licence is being processed.
Yes. Every healthcare professional working in your clinic needs their own UAE medical licence. We manage this for your entire team — doctors, nurses, pharmacists, dentists, and allied health professionals. All professions. All nationalities. This is included as part of our clinic setup service.
Costs vary significantly by clinic type, emirate, and size. Our initial consultation is completely free — we confirm your eligibility, map the process, and give you a realistic timeline before any fees are committed. Authority fees, design costs, and service fees are all explained transparently in your first session.
