Working as a doctor in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi is one of the strongest markets in the Gulf for doctors. Employers — SEHA hospitals, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, and private facilities across the emirate — recruit internationally and offer tax-free packages. Typical roles include general practitioners, specialists, and consultants across every discipline. Pay generally runs AED 20,000–100,000+ per month, tax-free, usually with housing or a housing allowance, annual flights home, and private health insurance on top. For a full breakdown by emirate and seniority, see our UAE healthcare salary guide.

The DOH Licence You'll Need

Every doctor working in Abu Dhabi must hold a DOH licence issued by the Department of Health (DOH). In short, you'll need a recognised MBBS/MD (plus a postgraduate qualification for specialists), active home-country registration, DataFlow Primary Source Verification, and a pass in the DOH Pearson VUE exam (unless you qualify for an exemption). Our step-by-step DOH doctor licensing guide walks through every requirement, fee, and timeline. The full process usually runs 2–4 months — and Health Bridge manages all of it for you.
