Dubai Healthcare City Authority (DHCA) has introduced a comprehensive package of economic measures aimed at supporting its business community and enhancing opportunities for sustainable growth within Dubai Healthcare City (DHCC).

The measures are designed to provide financial flexibility and operational support to companies operating within the healthcare-focused free zone.

The initiative reflects Dubai’s continued commitment to strengthening key economic sectors, improving business resilience, and ensuring readiness to adapt to evolving market conditions.

The newly announced measures include a waiver of reinstatement fees and late renewal penalties for commercial licenses renewed between April 1 and June 30, 2026.

In addition, businesses will be able to settle renewal fees through structured installment plans, including the use of post-dated cheques, with payment timelines extended until September 30, 2026.

Further flexibility has been introduced across leasing arrangements within the free zone. Companies can request the postponement or restructuring of due cheques into installments, with associated deferment charges and cheque return fees waived.

These steps are expected to ease financial pressures and support business continuity amid changing economic conditions.
