DHA Overview

🏥What Is the DHA License?

The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) license is the official authorization required for healthcare professionals to practice in Dubai's healthcare facilities — both public and private.

DHA applies within Dubai emirate only. The neighboring Abu Dhabi emirate falls under DOH (Department of Health), while the Northern Emirates require an MOH license.

Abu Yahya Global manages the complete DHA application process on your behalf — from eligibility assessment and DataFlow to Prometric exam scheduling and final license issuance — with zero margin for document errors.
