Areas Where Zavis Has Matched General Practitioner Professionals

Areas come from the address on each facility's Zavis directory listing. 3,021 of Dubai's 5,505 facilities have an address that names one of these areas; the rest are in other communities or have no usable address, so an area's count is not its full workforce and an area missing here is not an area without this specialty.

The FTL rate is the share of registered general practitioner professionals who hold an active full-time licence at a Dubai facility. A REG record means the professional has passed registration with the Dubai health regulator, which the regulator describes as the step before looking for a job, but is not currently licensed at a facility. That can mean someone between jobs, newly registered or not yet hired. Licence type does not measure skill or seniority.
