The Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP) in United Arab Emirates (UAE) has launched a National Licensing Platform, an innovative initiative aimed at standardizing the licensing of health professionals.
The unified platform, launched in collaboration and integration with all health authorities in the country, features an entrepreneurial, innovative, and integrated business model developed in collaboration with its strategic partners. It offers all licensing services for health professionals, reducing effort and time for users while improving their experience. From standardising to streamlining licensing procedures and requirements, the platform shortens the time needed to obtain licenses.
This initiative is part of the Ministry’s ongoing efforts to comprehensively develop the regulation of the health sector, enhancing its competitiveness, flexibility, and effectiveness. The national platform targets medical professionals, qualified specialised personnel in the healthcare sector, including doctors, nurses, health technicians, pharmacists, allied medical field specialists, and technical staff.
Operating as an integrated digital system, the platform streamlines the governance of health profession licensing procedures. It facilitates the comprehensive registration of health personnel, manages and evaluates documents and professional qualifications, applies unified standards for evaluation and accreditation, and issues a standardised professional practice license valid across the UAE.
