Dubai Healthcare Business Group

The Medical Labs & Diagnostic Centers Business Group is a specialized sector group established by Dubai Chamber of Commerce in January 2023 to support and strengthen the diagnostic services sector within Dubai's thriving healthcare industry. The business group brings together medical laboratories, diagnostic centers, and related healthcare service providers to foster collaborative relationships and advance the sector's strategic importance within the emirate's healthcare ecosystem.

Operating within Dubai's healthcare market, which is valued at over $4.63 billion annually, the business group serves as a vital platform for stakeholders in the diagnostic services sector. Members benefit from collective dialogue on critical industry issues, policy recommendations, and the exchange of international best practices. The group plays an instrumental role in enhancing the sector's competitiveness and attractiveness, particularly as Dubai continues to establish itself as a regional healthcare hub, anchored by facilities such as Dubai Healthcare City—the world's largest medical free zone.

As part of Dubai Chamber's broader initiative to expand representation across all economic sectors, this business group provides diagnostic services providers with direct channels to engage with policymakers, share insights on sector challenges, and contribute to the emirate's economic growth objectives. The group supports its members in navigating the rapidly evolving healthcare landscape while capitalizing on opportunities in medical tourism, which is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 17.1% through 2025.
