DHA Layout and Fit-Out Requirements for Healthcare Clinics in Dubai

Plan, Design, and Build Your Medical Facility to Meet DHA Standards

Setting up a healthcare facility in Dubai? Whether it’s a clinic, diagnostic center, or specialty practice, obtaining a DHA license requires strict compliance with layout and fit-out guidelines. We help you streamline the process with expert support for design planning, interior compliance, and regulatory approvals.

Why DHA Layout & Fit-Out Approval is Crucial

The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) mandates specific infrastructure, safety, and functional design standards to ensure patient safety and service quality. Any deviation can delay your license or result in penalties.

✅ Key DHA Layout & Design Requirements Include:

Clinic Zoning & Flow: Clear demarcation of patient areas, waiting zones, consultation rooms, and sterilization areas.
Minimum Room Dimensions: Adequate space based on specialty—e.g., 12–15 sqm for consultation rooms.
Handwashing Facilities: Every exam and treatment room must have a handwashing station.
Accessibility Compliance: Must accommodate people of determination (wheelchair-friendly access, signage).
Air Conditioning & Ventilation: Central AC with air quality compliance as per DHA standards.
Fire & Safety Systems: Civil Defense-compliant fire alarms, extinguishers, and emergency exits.
Waste Disposal Zones: Separate area for biomedical waste, complying with environmental regulations.
Material Standards: Use of non-porous, antibacterial flooring and wall finishes in clinical areas.
