Dubai has introduced a new “permit to practice” for visiting doctors, allowing them to work in the UAE for three months.
This initiative, announced at the Arab Health 2024, aims to help the local healthcare system handle emergencies and access specialized medical expertise.
Temporary permits for medical professionals in UAE
The temporary permits help healthcare facilities in Dubai meet their demand for professionals. However, getting this permit doesn’t automatically guarantee a permanent professional license later on.
To obtain a license, doctors must meet specific requirements outlined in the Unified Professional Qualification Guide.
