Verify the doctor — before you book
Sourced- Official registry
- Three emirate-level regulators licence physicians — Dubai Health Authority (DHA) in Dubai, the Department of Health (DoH) in Abu Dhabi, and the federal Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) for the northern emirates. A licence from one authority does not carry to another emirate. · DHA 'Sheryan' portal (services.dha.gov.ae/sheryan) — public 'Verify Professional License/Registration Status' search by name, licence number or specialisation, returning full name, specialisation, licence type (Consultant/Specialist/GP), status (Active/Suspended/Revoked) and registered facility; Abu Dhabi uses the DoH portal (doh.gov.ae via the TAMM platform), northern emirates use MOHAP (mohap.gov.ae)
