📢 NursingManthra Blog Update
By Shincy George
If you’re a dentist or dental specialist holding a license from the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) or the Ministry of Health (MOH) and are considering a transfer to Abu Dhabi’s Department of Health (DOH), here’s an important update for you.
Recently, received an official response from the Department of Health (DOH), Abu Dhabi, regarding license transfers. The clarification provided is crucial for healthcare professionals, especially those in the dental field.
❗️Key Point from DOH:
The Abu Dhabi Health Authority exam is exempted only when transferring a license from DHA or MOH to DOH except for dentists and their specialties.
This means:
- Doctors, nurses, and allied healthcare professionals may be eligible to transfer without taking the DOH exam.
- However, dentists and dental specialists are not exempted from the DOH exam requirement and cannot directly transfer their license from DHA/MOH to DOH.
🔍 What Does This Mean for You?
If you are a licensed dentist or dental specialist in Dubai or under MOH and you wish to practice in Abu Dhabi:
- You must go through the standard DOH licensing process, including any required exams.
- The exemption route does not apply to dental professionals.
📝 DOH PQR Guidelines
To better understand the experience and qualification criteria for your profession, DOH recommends checking the Professional Qualification Requirements (PQR):https://www.doh.gov.ae/en/pqr
