How does Dubai's supply compare with the OECD benchmark?
With 3 full-time licence holders per 100K population, this specialty's supply level should be interpreted in context of Dubai's demographics and healthcare utilization patterns.
How many hold a full-time licence?
FTL is a full-time licence held at a Dubai facility. REG means registered only: the professional has passed registration with the Dubai health regulator but holds no active licence at a Dubai facility and cannot practise until a facility activates one. 81% of registered massage therapist professionals hold an active full-time licence at a Dubai facility, and 19% are not currently licensed at one. Licence type does not measure skill or seniority.

Areas Where Zavis Has Matched Massage Therapist Professionals
Areas with at least one massage therapist professional at a facility Zavis has matched to them. 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 from the list is not an area without this specialty.
