DUBAI: The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) is showcasing its distinguished services and projects for investors, health professionals, health facilities and the public during its participation in the 23rd edition of the Dubai International Dermatology and Laser Conference and Exhibition (Dubai Derma) 2024.

he Emirate of Dubai from various categories, including doctors, dentists, nurses, midwives, health profession practitioners, and alternative medicine practitioners. Through this register, one can also identify the health professional’s specialisation, academic certificates, and practical experience obtained, in addition to the health facilities in which the professional works in the emirate.
The register also provides customers with complete details about all licenced health facilities in the emirate, their addresses, specialities available here, and ways to communicate directly with them. The register constitutes a documented database compatible with the best applicable international standards.
