Professional HAAD Licence in Abu Dhabi

If you’re a healthcare professional with your sights on Abu Dhabi, to tap into the emirate’s vibrant medical and health sector, you’ll need a Health Authority of Abu Dhabi (HAAD) Licence, a testament to your qualifications and skills. The Health Authority of Abu Dhabi (HAAD) is the governing body that grants licences to healthcare professionals in Abu Dhabi. This licence is a must-have for many medical practitioners, including physicians, dentists, nurses, pharmacists, and allied health practitioners.

MOH Exam for UAE Eligibility

If you want to work as a pharmacist in the UAE, passing the Ministry of Health (MOH) Licensing Exam is essential. The MOH exam ensures that only qualified pharmacists can practise within its borders. To sit for the MOH exam, applicants must meet specific eligibility requirements:

• Pharmacy Degree from a Recognised University: You’ll need an M.Pharm, B.Pharm or Pharm.D degree.
• Professional Experience: A minimum of two years working in a pharmacy is required.

Transition to Primary Healthcare Centre Licences

With effect from 1 January 2018, the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi (‘DOH’) stopped issuing licences for general clinics, with limited exceptions. All licensed specialised clinics and medical centres wishing to practise family medicine must meet the Standard and submit a ‘change in type’ application in order to change the healthcare facility type to a ‘Primary Health Care Centre’. This change aims to improve patient access to quality and safe primary healthcare services, and sets the minimum requirements and specifications that healthcare providers are required to comply with.
