MOH – UAE

MOH UAE Overview

The Ministry of Health (MOH) is the government body responsible for regulating the healthcare sector in the United Arab Emirates, ensuring that healthcare professionals meet the required standards of competence and conduct to practice legally in the UAE. Unlike DHA (Dubai Health Authority), which governs Dubai specifically, MOH oversees healthcare services for all other emirates in the UAE.

To practice in the UAE under the MOH, healthcare professionals must undergo the licensure process, which involves:

• Primary Source Verification (PSV)
• Credentialing.
• MOH Exam

Once licensed by the MOH, healthcare professionals are authorized to practice in the UAE, including for both public and private hospitals.
