MOHAP Health Professional License: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to obtain and maintain your professional medical licensing and verification through the Ministry of Health and Prevention.
This scheme provides the necessary professional licensing and verification required for medical professionals to practice their craft legally within the United Arab Emirates.
Who it's for
This scheme is specifically designed for medical professionals. It is intended for those who require official government authorization to practice their medical profession and ensure their clinical work meets federal health standards.
What you get
By completing this process, you receive formal professional licensing and verification. This provides the official legal standing required to practice and ensures that your professional qualifications are recognized by the relevant authorities.
What it costs you
There are financial costs associated with this scheme. You will be responsible for paying fees related to the initial licensing process, as well as additional fees required when it comes time for your periodic license renewals.
The catch to know
Maintaining an active license requires consistent record-keeping. You must ensure that your continuing medical education (CME) hours—often referred to locally as "ساعات معتمدة"—are uploaded to the system on an annual basis to remain compliant.
How to apply
- Access the official Ministry of Health and Prevention portal.
- Submit all required documentation regarding your medical qualifications and professional background.
