Healthcare Licensing Services
Independent consultancy support for healthcare professionals seeking licensing across GCC countries — UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait.
About This Service
What is Healthcare Licensing?
GCC Healthcare Licensing covers the credential verification, documentation and application process required for healthcare professionals to legally practice across Gulf Cooperation Council countries. Each country has its own regulatory authority (DHA, DOH, MOHAP, SCFHS, DHP, NHRA and Oman's MOH), and requirements vary by profession and country. Shafaq International helps you understand which pathway applies to you and supports you through the documentation and application journey.
Good to Know
Choosing the Right GCC Authority
- UAE has three separate authorities — DHA (Dubai), DOH (Abu Dhabi) and MOHAP (Northern Emirates)
- Saudi Arabia licenses through SCFHS with classification-based grading
- Qatar licenses through DHP/QCHP with ongoing CPD renewal requirements
- Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait each have their own Ministry-led processes with varying exam requirements
