Dubai: The Dubai Healthcare City Authority has introduced a set of economic support measures aimed at strengthening its business community and promoting long-term sustainable growth within Dubai Healthcare City.
Announced through the Government of Dubai Media Office on April 13, 2026, the initiatives reflect Dubai’s broader commitment to supporting key economic sectors and enhancing their resilience in a changing business environment.
The package of measures includes a waiver of reinstatement fees and late renewal penalties for commercial licences renewed between April 1 and June 30, 2026. Businesses will also be able to pay renewal fees in instalments through structured payment plans, including post-dated cheques, with extended timelines up to September 30, 2026.
Flexible leasing
Additional flexibility has been introduced for leasing arrangements within the free zone, allowing companies to postpone payments or restructure dues into instalments upon request. Related deferment charges and cheque return fees have also been waived to ease financial pressure on partners.
Issam Galadari, CEO of the Dubai Healthcare City Authority, said the measures are designed to support business continuity and long-term growth across the ecosystem.
