Medical Labs & Diagnostic Centers Business Group

The Medical Labs & Diagnostic Centers Business Group was established by Dubai Chamber of Commerce in January 2023 to represent and advance the diagnostic laboratories sector in Dubai. Operating under the Dubai Chambers umbrella, this business group brings together medical laboratories and diagnostic center operators to foster collaboration, share knowledge, and strengthen the sector's position within Dubai's rapidly expanding healthcare industry. The group serves as a strategic platform for businesses in the diagnostic labs sector to engage with peers, stakeholders, and regulatory bodies.

With Dubai's healthcare market valued at over $4.63 billion annually, the business group plays a vital role in supporting sector growth and competitiveness. It focuses on advocating for policy improvements, promoting international best practices, and facilitating dialogue between members and relevant government entities. The group contributes to positioning Dubai as a leading healthcare hub in the region, supporting the emirate's broader economic diversification objectives and leveraging opportunities in medical tourism, which is projected to grow at 17.1% annually through 2025.

As one of numerous business groups under Dubai Chambers, this initiative reflects the organization's commitment to representing diverse economic sectors across the emirate, with plans to expand to 100 specialized business groups to comprehensively support Dubai's business community.
