Dubai Healthcare City has grouped its relief offers into three broad categories:
- Waivers and discounts for directly-impacted segments
- Additional benefits for businesses operating in DHCA-owned properties
- Waivers and discounts on regulatory fees for hospitals, clinics, education providers, research institutions, retail stores, hotels, F&B outlets, consultancies, and support services
Those considered directly impacted include certain outpatient clinics, education providers, hospitality, and support services.
These have had to “close or significantly reduce operations to comply with national precautionary and preventive measures, resulting in reduced revenues and customer footfall”.

The Dubai Healthcare City package offers 25-100 per cent discount on commercial and clinical fees for all directly-impacted segments.
There will also be a 25-50 per cent discount on commercial and clinical fees for all other segments, but excluding pharmacies and supermarkets.
