DHA / MOH / DOH License Consultancy in Dubai

To work in healthcare in the UAE, you must be licensed by the authority that governs your workplace. There are three main authorities:

  • DHA (Dubai Health Authority) — for most private hospitals and clinics in Dubai.
  • MOH (UAE Ministry of Health & Prevention) — for the northern emirates and federal facilities.
  • DOH (Department of Health – Abu Dhabi) — for the emirate of Abu Dhabi.

We identify the right authority for your target role, then manage the entire process: document preparation, Dataflow (PSV), exam booking, application submission and license activation.

Who Needs a DHA License?

Doctors, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, physiotherapists and other allied health professionals who want to practise in Dubai. Your required category (e.g. General Practitioner, Specialist, Consultant) depends on your qualifications and experience.

The DHA Licensing Steps

  1. Eligibility check and document collection (passport, degree, transcript, Good Standing Certificate, experience letters).
  2. Dataflow (Primary Source Verification) of your documents.
  3. DHA assessment/exam (computer-based, English) where required for your category.
  4. DHA registration — valid for a period during which a facility activates it into a working license.
  5. License activation by your employing facility so you can start work.

Why Use a Consultant

The most common reasons applications stall are incomplete or mistranslated documents and missing experience evidence. We check your file against current DHA requirements before submission to reduce rejection risk and delays.
