Clinic, polyclinic or medical centre: what is the difference?
Facility categories are defined by each regulator, but in general: Our pharmacy business in Dubai guide explains the details.
- Clinic: one specialty, often with one or a few doctors.
- Polyclinic or medical centre: several specialties under one licence, often with a pharmacy, laboratory or radiology on site.
- Day surgery centre: licensed for procedures that don’t need an overnight stay, with stricter facility standards.
Check exactly which facility type and specialties the licence covers, because adding specialties later needs approval.
Which authority licenses medical centres in each emirate?
| Emirate or zone | Health regulator |
|---|---|
| Dubai | Dubai Health Authority (DHA), through the Sheryan system |
| Dubai Healthcare City | Dubai Healthcare City Authority’s regulatory arm (DHCR) |
| Abu Dhabi | Department of Health – Abu Dhabi (DoH) |
| Northern emirates | Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) for many private facilities. Check which authority applies in your emirate. |
A commercial licence (from DET, ADDED or the relevant economic department) is also needed. Every doctor, nurse and allied health professional needs their own professional licence from the same regulator.
What should I check before buying a medical centre?
- Licences: the facility licence, its specialties and the professional licences of all clinical staff.
- Doctors: who will stay after the sale, their contracts, and how much revenue each one brings in.
- Insurance: network contracts with insurers and TPAs, claim rejection rates, and receivables still to be paid.
- Equipment: ownership, service contracts, and approvals for imaging and laboratory equipment.
- Premises: the lease, landlord consent, and whether the layout still meets current facility standards.
- Compliance: inspection reports, complaints and any open violations.
- Finances: 12 to 24 months of revenue by department, staff costs and bank statements.
How are medical centres valued?
Value depends on verified profit, the strength of the insurance contracts, the doctors who stay, and the equipment and fit-out. Because insurers often pay months after treatment, separate cash profit from booked revenue and agree how outstanding receivables are handled in the price. A centre that relies on one or two doctors is riskier unless they sign long contracts.
How do I buy a medical centre step by step?
- Review the licences, staff list and financial reports with the seller.
- Sign an MoU with the price and conditions, including regulator approval of the new owner.
- Complete clinical, legal and financial due diligence.
- Get landlord consent and update the lease.
- Apply for the change of ownership with the commercial licensing authority and the health regulator.
- Update insurance contracts and bank accounts, then pay the balance on approval.
