Sharjah Healthcare City licenses the emirate's private-health expansion: hospitals, specialist clinics, rehabilitation and wellness centres and medical-trading businesses, on a master-planned medical campus with MOHAP clinical oversight.

For clinical operators priced out of Dubai Healthcare City, SHCC offers the free zone plus healthcare-regulatory pairing at Sharjah costs, serving a large residential catchment across the northern emirates.

Healthcare City frequently asked questions

How does SHCC clinical licensing work?

The commercial licence pairs with MOHAP facility licensing and practitioner credentialing, similar in structure to DHCC's model but under federal health regulation. We run the combined process end to end.

SHCC or DHCC for a clinic?

DHCC brings Dubai's medical-tourism brand at premium cost; SHCC serves the northern-emirates population at materially lower facility spend. The catchment you treat decides it.

What does an SHCC setup cost?

Licences start around AED 12,000; clinical fit-out and credentialing dominate real budgets, and we model the full facility case before you lease.
