Licensing Process for All GCC Countries : Your Path to Practice
Obtaining a professional license is the mandatory legal requirement for healthcare, paramedical, nursing, and pharmacy professionals to practice in any Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nation. While each country has its own regulatory body, the overall licensing process follows a standardized, systematic framework.
DataMigrate Solutions specializes in expertly navigating this framework for all major authorities, ensuring your application is compliant from the initial step to final issuance.
Key Regulatory Bodies in the GCC
The main difference between countries is the specific regulatory body that handles the process and the official portal used for submission:
| Country | Licensing Authority (Acronym) | Licensing Portal/System | Key Distinctions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saudi Arabia | SCFHS (Saudi Commission for Health Specialties) | Mumaris Plus | Centralized process, Mandatory Prometric Exam for most. |
| Dubai, UAE | DHA (Dubai Health Authority) | Sheryan Portal | Grants Eligibility Letter before securing a job offer. |
| Abu Dhabi, UAE | DOH (Department of Health) | TAMM Portal | Follows a similar process to DHA but specific to the Emirate. |
| Qatar | QCHP (Qatar Council for Healthcare Practitioners) | MOPH/QCHP Portal | Mandates QuadraBay (or other approved) verification and Prometric Exam. |
| Oman | OMSB (Oman Medical Specialty Board) | MOH eHealth Portal | Sponsorship by an Oman-based facility is integrated earlier into the final approval process. |
| Bahrain | NHRA (National Health Regulatory Authority) | Mehan Portal | Often considered one of the most accessible routes with flexible PSV options (Dataflow or QuadraBay). |
