How We Rank Neonatology Doctors
The neonatology ranking is based on facility size as reported in the Sheryan Medical Registry: the number of professionals licensed at the facility that holds each doctor's licence. Doctors at facilities with more licensed staff are listed first. Facility size is not a measure of a doctor's skill or results; the register holds no outcome data or patient reviews.
Only FTL (Full-time License) holders are included: neonatology professionals with an active full-time licence at a named Dubai facility. Registered Only (REG) professionals hold no facility licence and cannot practise until a facility activates one, so they are left out, as are the few part-time (PTL) and trainee (TRL) licences.
No paid placements and no review scores are used. The order comes only from the public register data.

What is the best hospital for neonatology in Dubai?
Based on staff count, Latifa Hospital - Dubai Health has the largest neonatology department in Dubai with 10 licensed neonatology professionals on staff, followed by Dubai Hospital - Dubai Health (5 staff).
How are the best neonatology doctors in Dubai ranked?
Neonatology doctors are listed in order of the size of the facility that holds their licence, measured by the number of professionals licensed there on the Sheryan Medical Registry. That is an ordering by facility size, not a measure of clinical quality: the register carries no outcome data and no patient reviews. Only doctors with a full-time licence (FTL) are included, and there are no paid placements.
What is the difference between a neonatology specialist and consultant?
Both are licence titles under the unified UAE Professional Qualification Requirements (PQR), which DHA applies in Dubai. A Neonatology Specialist holds a recognised specialty qualification and needs no further experience if it is graded Tier 1 or Tier 2. A Neonatology Consultant needs 2 years of experience after a Tier 1 qualification or 5 years after Tier 2, and a Tier 3 qualification cannot lead to the Consultant title. The register lists the two titles separately.
How do I verify a neonatology doctor's license in Dubai?
You can verify any neonatology doctor's licence through the Sheryan portal run by Dubai's health regulator. Search by doctor name or licence number to confirm their licence status, specialty, and current facility affiliation. The 104 neonatology professionals listed here come from the Sheryan Medical Registry.
