Healthcare professionals applying for licensure will have to pass DHA assessment in order to acquire a license and start practicing in Dubai. The DHA assessment can be either computer-based or oral depending on the health professional ‘s category.

Doctors must obtain specific licenses depending on whether they are interns, general practitioners, specialists, consultants or resident doctors.Same applies for dentists also.
