We license, design, build and equip medical facilities in Dubai. The practice is led by a DHA-licensed physician and Medical Director, and our regulatory team includes people who have worked inside the Dubai Health Authority itself.
Most clinic projects in Dubai run on three separate contracts. A licensing consultant files the paperwork. An interior company draws something attractive. A contractor builds it. Each signs off on their own scope, and the gaps between them are where the months disappear.
The gaps are specific. Drawings get produced before anyone checks them against the DHA Health Facility Guidelines, so the corridor comes back at 1500mm when an outpatient facility needs 1850mm. Procedure rooms get an open-joint suspended ceiling, which fails infection control. Medical gas routing is added after the ceiling is closed.
Every one of those is a rebuild, not a revision — and every rebuild is rent paid on a clinic that is not yet open.
Clinsera is led by a practising DHA-licensed physician who holds a Medical Director role, and our regulatory team includes former Dubai Health Authority personnel — people who have assessed submissions and walked facilities from the authority’s side of the table.
That changes what advice is worth. Knowing the guideline is one thing. Knowing how a submission is actually read, which omissions generate a query, and what an inspector looks at in the first ten minutes is a different kind of knowledge, and it is not written down anywhere.
Everything from initial approval to the day you see your first patient. One contract, one accountable team.
Initial approval, facility and staff licensing, and the final inspection — filed and tracked through Sheryan by people who know how it is read.
Finding a unit that will actually pass, before you sign a ten-year lease on one that will not.
Architecture and interiors rendered before construction, so you approve a space you have already seen.
Full build, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, medical gas, and every Municipality and Civil Defence submission.
Specification, sourcing and installation of clinical equipment, beds, treatment chairs and sterilisation.
Medical academies and institutes, including the KHDA educational services permit alongside the facility build.
A full inspection against the DHA checklist, run by people who have conducted them. Findings, evidence, and a corrective plan with dates.
Licence activations, renewals, staff additions and facility amendments, filed and tracked so nothing lapses.
Radiation licensing for X-ray, dental imaging, C-arm and CT, including shielding review and RPO support.
Trade licence, Municipality approval, interior design and full build for beauty and wellness spaces.
GP clinics · Polyclinics · Specialty clinics · Day surgery centres · Home healthcare · Training institutes
A DHA-licensed doctor leads the practice, and the regulatory team includes people who previously worked at the authority. Between them, they have seen submissions from both sides — which is why our advice tends to be shorter and more specific than most.
Sealed wipeable flooring, coved skirting at wall-to-floor junctions, clean and dirty workflow separation, flush ceilings in procedure rooms. We build to Part D rather than correcting to it after a failed inspection.
Our clinics look like hospitality spaces and pass as medical facilities. Those two things are only in conflict when the detailing is done by someone who does not know the standard.
Demand is not the constraint in this market. The regulatory bar is what decides who opens on schedule and who spends an extra six months paying rent on an empty unit.

Service mix, budget, and a realistic view of what the project actually requires.
Assessing units against catchment, and against whether the building can physically host a compliant clinic.
Company formation, trade licence, and the DHA business case demonstrating service need and viability — written by people who have read these from the assessing side.
Schematic and detailed submissions through Sheryan, with Municipality and Civil Defence running in parallel.
Building exactly what was approved, with equipment installed and commissioned before inspection, not after.
Mock inspection first, findings closed with evidence, then the DHA visit itself.
Jumeirah Lake Towers, Downtown, Business Bay and JBR — aesthetic and multi-service clinics, a medical training institute, a home healthcare provider and a beauty salon.
Aesthetic clinic delivered from an empty unit: licensing, design, MEP, interiors and DHA approval.
Medical training institute delivered end to end, including KHDA educational permit approval.
Whether you have signed a lease, are still comparing units, or have an operating clinic with an inspection coming — the first conversation costs nothing and usually saves something.
