A complete DHA, DOH, or MOH licensing cycle typically runs 90 to 150 days end-to-end, covering facility approval, professional licensing, inspection readiness, and operational sign-off. Timelines vary by emirate, activity scope, and the completeness of the submitted dossier.
Yes. Nova Life manages licensing across DHA in Dubai, DOH in Abu Dhabi, and MOH in Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain, including facility, professional, and activity-specific approvals.
Healthcare investors can own 100% of professional licenses in most UAE free zones and on mainland under updated commercial regulations. Nova Life structures ownership to align with regulator, banking, and insurer requirements.
A standard single-specialty clinic in Dubai typically requires AED 1.2 to 2.5 million in capital depending on location, equipment intensity, and fit-out grade. Day surgery centres, IVF, and aesthetic surgery facilities range from AED 3 to 8 million.
Empanelment with major UAE payers such as Daman, Thiqa, NextCare, Neuron, MetLife, AXA, and others typically unlocks 60 to 85% of patient volume in established catchments. Nova Life sequences empanelment to match payer mix and tariff economics.
