Frequently Asked Questions
How do I verify a doctor's DHA license?
You can verify any healthcare professional's DHA license through the official Sheryan portal (sheryan.dha.gov.ae). Search by the professional's name or license number to confirm their credentials, specialty, and current status. The Zavis Professional Directory also lists license type (FTL or REG) for every professional sourced directly from the Sheryan registry.
What is the difference between a Specialist and Consultant in Dubai?
In the DHA classification system, a Specialist is a physician who has completed specialty training and holds a recognized specialist qualification. A Consultant is a more senior grade, requiring additional years of post-specialty experience (typically 8+ years in the specialty). Consultants are permitted to supervise Specialists and often lead departments. Both grades require separate DHA licensing.
How many doctors are in Dubai?
As of 2026-04-03, there are 24,186 DHA-licensed physicians and doctors practicing in Dubai, according to the official Sheryan Medical Registry. This includes general practitioners, specialists, and consultants across all medical disciplines. In addition, there are 7,713 licensed dentists, 34,733 nurses and midwives, and 32,888 allied health professionals, for a total of 99,520 licensed healthcare professionals.
What types of healthcare professionals are licensed by DHA?
The Dubai Health Authority licenses four main categories of healthcare professionals: Physicians and Doctors (including GPs, specialists, and consultants), Dentists (general dentists and dental specialists), Nurses and Midwives (registered nurses, assistant nurses, practical nurses, and midwives), and Allied Health Professionals (pharmacists, physiotherapists, lab technologists, optometrists, psychologists, radiographers, and many others). Each professional must pass DHA examinations and meet specific qualification requirements.
How do I find a female doctor in Dubai?
The DHA Sheryan registry does not publicly list the gender of healthcare professionals. To find a female doctor, you can call the facility directly and request a female physician. Many clinics and hospitals in Dubai offer the option to see a female doctor, particularly in specialties like obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, and family medicine. Some facilities specifically advertise female-only clinics.
What is the difference between FTL and REG license types?
FTL (Full Trade License) indicates a healthcare professional licensed to practice at a privately owned facility. REG (Registered) indicates a professional registered to practice at a government or semi-government healthcare facility such as DHA hospitals. Both license types confirm that the professional has met DHA qualification and examination requirements.
