UAE Health Authority Licensing: MOH, DHA, and DOH
The UAE has three licensing authorities. Dubai falls under the Dubai Health Authority (DHA). Abu Dhabi falls under the Department of Health (DOH, formerly HAAD). The other five Emirates (Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain) fall under the federal Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOH UAE). All three require DataFlow verification of Philippine qualifications, then the authority-specific licensing examination. We confirm the correct pathway for your facility location at the start of every brief.
Dubai: Dubai Health Authority (DHA)
Abu Dhabi: Department of Health (DOH)

Why UAE Employers Source Filipino Physiotherapists
PRC physiotherapy licensure
Each physiotherapist holds a PRC Physical Therapy licence and a DPT or BS Physical Therapy, with musculoskeletal, neurological, or cardiopulmonary specialisation recorded.
English in rehabilitation
Assessment notes, treatment plans, and patient instruction run in English. Filipino physiotherapists train and practise in English.
Licensed for the correct UAE authority
We confirm whether your facility falls under MOH UAE, DHA, or DOH, then prepare each physiotherapists candidate for that pathway through DataFlow verification.
Demand across the Emirates
Demand for physiotherapy runs across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and the northern Emirates, each under its own authority. We match candidates to the route for your location.
UAE Employer Questions
Filipino physiotherapists hold a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) or Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy from a CHED-accredited institution and a PRC Physical Therapy licence from the Professional Regulation Commission. Gulf licensing authorities require DataFlow primary source verification of the PRC licence followed by the authority's physiotherapy licensing examination. BW Medical Staffing verifies the PRC licence, DataFlow status, and clinical specialisation records before presenting any physiotherapist candidate profile.
UAE health authority licensing depends on the Emirate your facility is in. Dubai requires DHA licensing; Abu Dhabi requires DOH (formerly HAAD) licensing; Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain require MOH UAE licensing. All three authorities require DataFlow primary source verification of Philippine qualifications followed by the authority-specific licensing examination. BW Medical Staffing identifies the relevant licensing pathway for each candidate based on your facility location and presents only candidates with active DataFlow or completed verification.
Filipino physiotherapists work across UAE hospital rehabilitation departments, private physiotherapy clinics, sports medicine centres, and long-term care settings. The licensing authority depends on the Emirate: DHA for Dubai, DOH for Abu Dhabi, and MOH UAE for the remaining five Emirates. All three require DataFlow verification of the PRC Physical Therapy licence followed by the authority-specific licensing examination. BW Medical Staffing matches each physiotherapist candidate to the correct UAE authority pathway for your facility location.
