DHA Overview

The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) is the regulatory body responsible for overseeing healthcare services in the Emirate of Dubai, UAE. The DHA ensures that healthcare professionals meet the required standards of competence and ethical conduct before they are allowed to practice in Dubai. It is necessary for healthcare workers to obtain DHA licensure before practicing in the emirate.

To obtain DHA licensure, candidates must complete the following processes:

• Primary Source Verification (PSV)
• Credentialing
• DHA Exam

Once licensed, healthcare professionals in Dubai can practice legally, with various benefits, including attractive salary packages, allowances, and other perks.
