In a move to reinforce business resilience and support long-term growth, the Dubai Healthcare City Authority (DHCA) has introduced a new set of economic measures for its business community in Dubai Healthcare City (DHCC).

The initiative reflects Dubai’s broader push to support strategic sectors and strengthen their ability to adapt to shifting market dynamics, while maintaining competitiveness across the emirate.

Issam Galadari, CEO of DHCA, said the measures are designed to create a more supportive and stable operating environment. “The measures introduced by the Dubai Healthcare City Authority reflect our commitment to supporting our business partners and ensuring the sustainability and growth of their operations,” he said. He added that the initiative aligns with DHCC’s wider ecosystem strategy to attract investment and sustain world-class specialized services.

At the core of the package is a waiver of reinstatement fees and late renewal penalties for commercial licenses renewed between April 1 and June 30, 2026. Businesses will also have the option to pay renewal fees in installments through structured payment plans, including post-dated cheques, with deadlines extended to September 30, 2026.

The authority has also introduced greater flexibility in leasing arrangements across the free zone. Companies can request the postponement or restructuring of due cheques into installments, with deferment charges and cheque return fees waived.

DHCA confirmed that eligible partners can apply for these measures, subject to specific criteria and timelines. The authority reiterated its commitment to enabling businesses to scale and explore new growth opportunities from Dubai, reinforcing the city’s position as a hub for innovation and healthcare excellence.
