DHA registration is a confirmation that the healthcare professional fulfills the requirements for the applied position (Category, title and specialty). It is valid for one year where a health facility should activate it into a license in order for the professional to start clinical practice. Maintaining an active registration secures the approved position without the need for re-assessment (providing there is no discontinuity in practice), in addition to being listed in Dubai Medical Registry.
