Dubai Unveils Three-Month Practice Permits for Medical Practitioners

In a recent move aimed at facilitating the entry of foreign medical professionals, Dubai has introduced a groundbreaking initiative—granting a three-month 'Practice Permit.' This development opens new avenues for healthcare practitioners looking to gain valuable experience in the vibrant medical landscape of the emirate.

The Practice Permit initiative, announced by Dubai's Health Authority (DHA), allows qualified medical professionals to work within the Dubai healthcare system for a limited period. The permit is designed to provide practitioners with the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the local healthcare environment, gain hands-on experience, and contribute to the delivery of medical services.

Applicants for the Practice Permit must meet specific eligibility criteria, including possessing a valid medical degree, relevant professional certifications, and a clean professional track record. The permit is available for a range of medical specialties, covering physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals.

This move aligns with Dubai's broader strategy to enhance its healthcare sector by attracting skilled and diverse medical talent from around the world. The emirate has been consistently investing in its healthcare infrastructure and services, aiming to position itself as a global hub for medical excellence.

Industry experts have lauded the initiative as a progressive step towards addressing the growing demand for healthcare services
