What is DHA Licensing?

    A DHA license is a license issued by the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) that allows healthcare professionals to practice in Dubai. It's a mandatory requirement for anyone who wants to work in Dubai's healthcare sector, including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, allied health professionals, and medical technicians.

How can we help within the process of DHA licensing?

    Obtaining a DHA (Dubai Health Authority) license can be a time-consuming and complex process, especially for healthcare professionals unfamiliar with the requirements. The journey involves multiple steps, from submitting documents for verification to passing professional exams and completing lengthy application forms. Delays are common due to document validation, credentialing, and administrative reviews, often stretching the timeline for weeks or even months. Ensuring compliance with DHA’s strict standards and navigating through the back-and-forth communication adds to the challenge, making the licensing process both tedious and time-intensive.

    Charkos is able to act as an agency to aid healthcare professionals in order to provide advice based on years of experience.
