Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the most common questions our experts encounter throughout their business experience.
Who regulates the healthcare sector in the UAE?
The UAE’s healthcare sector operates under a decentralized regulatory framework, in which the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) and independent local health authorities, including the DHA and the DOH, are responsible for regulating healthcare services within their respective emirates. Additionally, the Emirates Drug Establishment (EDE) is responsible for regulating and licensing all medical and pharmaceutical products across all seven emirates of the UAE.
How many healthcare authorities operate in the UAE?
Three healthcare authorities operate in the United Arab Emirates, including MOHAP, DHA, and DOH. The Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) sets national public health policies and regulates healthcare services across the five Northern Emirates: Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah. The Department of Health – Abu Dhabi (DOH) regulates healthcare services and licensing in the emirate of Abu Dhabi. The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) manages and oversees the healthcare sector within the emirate of Dubai.
What is the difference between MOHAP, DHA, and DOH?
The difference between MOHAP, DHA, and DOH is that each healthcare regulatory and licensing authority regulates a specific geographical jurisdiction. The federal health authority, MOHAP, regulates and issues medical licenses for the Northern Emirates, which include Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah. The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) governs the healthcare sector within the Emirate of Dubai. The Department of Health (DOH) regulates the healthcare sector exclusively within the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.

How does Felix Happich support healthcare professionals relocating to the UAE?
Felix Happich supports healthcare professionals relocating to the UAE by guiding them through the key licensing and regulatory steps required to practice legally.

Do I need a healthcare consultant before entering the UAE market?
No. It is not mandatory to engage a healthcare consultancy before entering the UAE healthcare market, particularly if you are familiar with the regulatory requirements and licensing process. However, a healthcare consultancy can help streamline the process by guiding local regulations, licensing requirements, compliance standards, and market entry strategies. This can reduce unnecessary costs, avoid delays, and help you develop a structured approach that aligns with UAE healthcare regulations and industry standards.
