DHCA rolls out e-Licences for doctors, nurses – ZAWYA

DUBAI- Dubai Healthcare City Authority, DHCA, on Tuesday announced the launch of its e-Licence initiative for healthcare professionals as part of several measures to support frontline health workers.. With the introduction of the e-License, which is secure and tamper-proof, healthcare professionals will benefit from reduced administrative requirements such as shorter wait time to receive a printed license, instant updates when a new permanent employer is added or license is renewed, and no fees for printing and delivery.. DHCA has studied the challenges that healthcare professionals face while renewing their licenses, mainly, stipulated number of Continuing Professional Development, CPD, trainings (50 percent in person) and Basic Life Support, BLS, (only in-person).. For the time being, in-person trainings are not accessible, and professionals are negatively impacted as these trainings are required for their licenses..
