Healthcare licence in the UAE

Clinics, telemedicine and health services. Every clinical activity requires practitioner-level licensing from the relevant health authority — DHA, DoH or MoHAP — on top of the company licence, and that is always the critical path.

What to know first

  • Individual practitioner licensing is mandatory and slow.
  • Telemedicine across borders engages the regulations of the patient's jurisdiction.
  • Medical device import and distribution requires separate registration.
