Greetings from the Department of Healthcare Professions at MoPH,

In alignment with the Department of Healthcare Profession’s mission and values to improve the health sector in the State of Qatar, DHP always works to update the regulatory procedures to ensure competency of healthcare practitioners working in the state of Qatar and to preserve the safety of patients. As the Registration section in the Department of Healthcare professions is aiming to improve the service for the practitioners, DHP has decided the following:

  • The medical license of healthcare practitioners licensed under governmental facilities will be automatically renewed yearly for five years, including all professions (physicians, dentists, nurses, allied health practitioners, and pharmacists).
