Case Study: DHA Approval for Abu Hail Primary & Screening Healthcare Center

Our Involvement in the Project:

Chartered Business Assurance was selected as the lead healthcare consulting firm to navigate the entire setup and approval process for a new primary healthcare and screening center. Our expert consultants handled:

  • Regulatory consulting in alignment with Dubai Health Authority (DHA) guidelines
  • Preparation of all DHA submission documents, including architectural layouts and service plans
  • Financial feasibility study, covering capital investment, projected ROI, breakeven analysis, and staffing cost models
  • Operational framework creation, detailing clinical pathways, infection control protocols, and workflow design
  • Support throughout the approval lifecycle, including resubmissions and clarifications with DHA
Project Overview and Description:

Located in the healthcare-centric zone of Abu Hail, Dubai, the client aimed to establish a state-of-the-art Primary & Screening Healthcare Center to serve the growing demand for affordable, accessible outpatient care and preventive services. The vision was to launch a community-oriented facility focusing on family medicine, general practice, laboratory diagnostics, and pre-employment screening.

As part of the DHA regulatory process, we developed a customized technical proposal that included floor plan optimization for clinical efficiency, patient flow strategy, waste management guidelines, and infection prevention plans. The financial feasibility report mapped out capital expenditure, operational costs, revenue forecasts, and scalability for future service lines such as dental care and specialist clinics.

Our healthcare operations team built a fully compliant operational and HR strategy—detailing the number of licensed professionals needed, MOH/DHA qualifications, and operational timelines.

Once submitted, our team coordinated closely with DHA licensing officers, promptly addressing queries and providing necessary revisions until full approval was granted.

  • DHA approval secured within 45 business days
