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
