The Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP) has urged all to use its electronic services for authenticating sick leave certificates issued within or outside the UAE, in line with specific regulations ensuring the reliability of medical reports and compliance with approved health systems.

The ministry stated that the service can be accessed via its website or smart app using digital identity, with fees paid electronically.

According to MoHAP, sick leaves not exceeding 5 days are automatically approved, while those longer than 5 days require review by a specialised medical committee, with decisions issued within one business day.

Also, leaves extending more than one month are submitted to the Higher Medical Committee for approval after electronic fee payment.
