Dubai Healthcare City Authority has launched a set of economic measures to support its business community and enhance their opportunities for sustainable growth.
The measures include a waiver of re-instatement fees and late renewal penalties for commercial licences renewed between April 1 and June 30, DHCA, the governing body of Dubai Healthcare City (DHCC), announced.
Businesses are also given the option to settle renewal fees in instalments through structured payment plans, including post-dated cheques, extending until September 30.
Additional measures provide flexibility across a range of leasing solutions within the free zone, allowing for the postponement or restructuring of due cheques into instalments upon request, with deferment charges and cheque return fees waived.
DHCA confirmed that eligible partners can apply for these measures in accordance with the specified criteria and timelines.
The move reflects Dubai’s commitment to supporting key sectors across the emirate to respond effectively to evolving conditions.
Issam Galadari, CEO of Dubai Healthcare City Authority, said: "The measures introduced by the Dubai Healthcare City Authority reflect our commitment to supporting our business partners and ensuring the sustainability and growth of their operations."
