MoHAP simplifies licensing for healthcare professionals

As part of the Phase II of the UAE government's “Zero Government Bureaucracy” programme, aiming to simplify operations, boost efficiency, and enhance quality of life, the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP) has announced improvements that will facilitate the transfer of healthcare professionals from the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) and the Department of Health in Abu Dhabi, eliminating the need for reevaluation.

These changes will make licensing procedures more efficient and provide a smoother, more flexible experience, allowing for seamless access to government services.

The Ministry of Health and Prevention announced it has successfully redesigned and restructured a series of key services, reducing their number by 50%, as part of Phase II of the “Zero Government Bureaucracy” programme.

Launched by the UAE government, the programme aims to create a government free of unnecessary complexity, with faster, simpler, and more effective services that enhance quality of life and boost institutional efficiency.

The first package launched by the Ministry during this phase included licensing and accreditation services for healthcare professionals and facilities, which underwent a comprehensive redesign, cutting the number of services from 32 to just 16.

The overhaul has significantly reduced processing times, improved operational efficiency, and strengthened alignment with the programme's overall objectives.
