Maternity and Midwifery
Hire Filipino Midwives for Saudi Arabia and Qatar
Saudi and Qatari maternity units, delivery suites, and antenatal clinics employ Filipino midwives alongside their nursing teams, and Vision 2030 maternal health projects are adding demand. We recruit directly from the Philippines, screening both PRC-licensed midwives and BSN registered nurses with midwifery experience depending on what the authority and employer require, confirm the registration route and DataFlow status before you see a profile, and handle the visas, paperwork, and clearances through to arrival, one point of contact throughout. Candidates never pay a fee at any stage.
Licensing by market: UAE, Saudi Arabia, or Qatar.

The role, and what a Filipino midwife brings to it
Midwives run labour wards, delivery suites, and antenatal and postnatal units, and maternity services hire them alongside registered nurses. We source midwifery as a separate brief from general nursing.
Depending on what the authority and employer require, we screen both PRC-licensed midwives, who hold a Bachelor of Science or Diploma in Midwifery from the Professional Regulation Commission's Board of Midwifery, and BSN registered nurses with midwifery experience. Credentials are verified at source through DataFlow, with training and documentation in English and typically two or more years of clinical experience.
Authority classification for midwives is assessed case by case, so before you see a profile we confirm the exact registration route for your facility and screen candidates against it, whether that runs through SCFHS in Saudi Arabia, QCHP in Qatar, or DHA, DOH, or MOH UAE in the Emirates.
Licensing by market
UAE: DHA, DOH, or MOH UAE by Emirate
In the UAE the authority depends on the Emirate: DHA in Dubai, DOH in Abu Dhabi, and MOH UAE across the northern Emirates. How a midwife is classified is assessed case by case against each authority’s nursing and midwifery categories, and we confirm the exact registration route, and whether a PRC-licensed midwife or a BSN registered nurse with midwifery experience fits it, before shortlisting.
Saudi Arabia: SCFHS and DataFlow
Every healthcare professional in Saudi Arabia is classified and licensed by the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS). How a midwife is classified is assessed case by case: SCFHS reviews qualifications and experience against its nursing and midwifery classifications, and the route can differ between a direct-entry midwifery diploma holder and a BSN registered nurse with midwifery experience. Where the SCFHS route applies it runs through DataFlow and the Prometric examination, which can be sat in the Philippines before departure, and classification sets the grade and salary banding.
Qatar: QCHP
In Qatar, QCHP registration runs through DataFlow verification of the midwifery credentials and the QCHP registration step, covering every healthcare setting in Qatar. As in the other markets, the exact route is assessed case by case and confirmed before shortlisting.

Why employers hire Filipino midwives
English in maternity care
Philippine midwifery is taught in English. Charting, handover, and communication with mothers and clinical teams run in English from day one at your facility, with no language bridging period.
Two routes into midwifery roles
Depending on the authority and employer, we screen both PRC-licensed midwives and BSN registered nurses with midwifery experience. Which one fits is assessed case by case, and we confirm the registration route before shortlisting.
Grade clarity before interview
Where SCFHS classification applies, it sets grade and salary banding, and the likely grade sits on the shortlist so you can match it to your vacancy before interviewing.
Midwifery run as a dedicated brief
We source midwifery separately from general nursing, so demand across Saudi Arabia and Qatar is covered from one point of contact rather than folded into a staff-nurse order.
Employer Questions
Depending on what the authority and employer require, we screen both PRC-licensed midwives, who hold a Bachelor of Science or Diploma in Midwifery from the Professional Regulation Commission's Board of Midwifery, and BSN registered nurses with midwifery experience. Authority classification is assessed case by case: the relevant authority reviews qualifications and experience against its nursing and midwifery classifications, and we confirm the exact registration route before presenting any profile, rather than assume a fixed pathway. Credentials and DataFlow status are checked on every candidate.
Where the SCFHS route applies, allow 10 to 16 weeks including classification, within a typical 3 to 4 months from brief to arrival, with a shortlist ready in 3 to 5 weeks. The exact route is confirmed case by case, and DataFlow-complete candidates move fastest, so we prioritise them for urgent briefs.
Yes. We place midwives in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE. The authority route, SCFHS in Saudi Arabia, QCHP in Qatar, or DHA, DOH, or MOH UAE in the Emirates, is assessed case by case, and we confirm the exact registration route before shortlisting. Tell us your market and we confirm the route that applies.
