The healthcare system of the United Arab Emirates is run by four regulatory authorities namely, DHA, HAAD, MOH, and DHCC. They are responsible for making sure that the Emirati Nationals and foreigner residents receive the best possible treatment and health care. In addition, these regulatory authorities are also responsible for enforcing quality standards for licensure through license examinations. Doctors and healthcare professionals have to take these exams for being licensed in order to be allowed to apply for jobs and practice in UAE.

Recently we wrote an article where we discussed salary of doctors in UAE based on factors such as academic background, qualifications, experience, the area of specialty and country of nationality. And since then, we have been receiving too many emails inquiring exemption criteria for HAAD, DHA, MOH & DHCC license exams. So we decided to write a detailed article and explain the eligibility criteria for exemption from UAE medical licensing exams.

But before we go on into details regarding exemptions from HAAD, DHA, MOH & DHCC license exams, let’s take a look at the authorities awarding these licenses and their validity in different Emirates.

Types of Healthcare Licenses in UAE

The UAE healthcare licenses are as follows:

  • DHA License: This license is granted by “Dubai Health Authority” for hospital jobs based in Dubai.
  • HAAD License: This license is granted by “Health Authority of Abu Dhabi” for hospital jobs in Al-Ain and Abu Dhabi.
  • MOH License: This license is granted by the “Ministry of Health” for positions in Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah or Umm al Quwain.
  • DHCC License: This license is valid for job in Dubai Healthcare City

Requirements for taking UAE Medical License Exams

  1. MBBS or equivalent qualification from a recognized institution.
  2. Completion of house job (internship).
  3. Additional two years of clinical experience.

Alright, we have discussed the basics, now let’s get to the main topic without further ado. 🙂

We will try to simplify everything as much as possible so that you’ll have a clear understanding of the exemption rules.

You have done your FCPS so you are eligible to apply but you have to appear in exam. You do not need to worry about exam as you have already appeared and passed FCPS, HAAD or DHA exams are but less tough than FCPS 🙂

      All the best! 🙂
