Licensing services for doctors, nurses, specialists, and allied health professionals applying to DHA, MOHAP, or DOH
Start Practising with the Right License
If you’re a healthcare professional aiming to work in the UAE, obtaining your license is not just a formality, it’s a mandatory process that unlocks your ability to practise legally. The health system in the UAE is strictly regulated, and whether you’re entering a hospital, clinic, lab, or pharmacy, your qualifications must be validated by the appropriate health authority.
Each emirate has a governing body:
- Dubai Health Authority (DHA) for Dubai
- Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) for northern emirates
- Department of Health (DOH) for Abu Dhabi and Al Ain
These authorities assess your credentials, experience, and eligibility before granting permission to practise. ProHealth guides you through this journey step by step.
Who Can Apply?
Our licensing service is designed for:
- General practitioners and specialists
- Nurses, midwives, and healthcare assistants
- Lab technicians and radiographers
- Physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists
- Dentists, pharmacists, and dietitians
- Traditional and alternative medicine practitioners
Whether you’re applying from outside the UAE or shifting within it, we help you meet all requirements based on your role and location.
What’s Involved in the Process?
The licensing procedure begins with gathering and authenticating your professional documents. This includes degrees, registrations, work experience, and good standing certificates. These are verified through an international system known as Dataflow.
Depending on your specialty and background, you may be required to take a Prometric or CBT exam.
Once your profile is verified and approved, the relevant health authority issues your eligibility letter or license. We handle everything from application submissions to authority communication, helping you avoid unnecessary rework or delays.
Working Across Different Emirates
Choosing the correct licensing authority is crucial. Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the northern emirates all follow different timelines, exams, and approval criteria. Professionals often face delays due to incorrect authority selection or lack of clarity around processes.
At ProHealth, we evaluate your profile and goals to determine the right authority and help you plan your move accordingly. We also assist in license transfers if you’re relocating between emirates or converting a visiting license into a full-time one.
