Many people mistakenly think Dubai is a country, but it’s actually one of the Seven Emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

For medical licensing in the UAE, the authority depends on where you want to work:
DHA (Dubai Health Authority) → Dubai

DOH (Department of Health – Abu Dhabi) → Abu Dhabi

MOH (Ministry of Health & Prevention) → All other emirates, mainly:
Sharjah
Ajman
Umm Al Quwain
Ras Al Khaimah
Fujairah

Simple rule to remember:
Dubai → DHA
Abu Dhabi → DOH
Rest of UAE → MOH

Too many recruiters use high numbers to get attention only to disappoint later.
That cycle erodes confidence for everyone.
At Dr. Expat, we break that cycle through transparent data, honest conversations, and a commitment to long-term relationships, not short-term wins.
