“Greetings from the Department of Healthcare Professions (DHP)”

The DHP will stop extending the validity of temporary licenses granted to healthcare practitioners from 15th March 2023, to unify registration/licensing procedures and resume operating according to the approved policy.

This decision is made as the exceptional circumstances and emergency conditions during the Covid-19 pandemic, which justified the extension of temporary licenses, are no longer applicable.

Accordingly, all health practitioners holding a temporary license must complete the requirements for obtaining a permanent license before the expiration of their temporary license. If their temporary license has expired, they must discontinue clinical practice until they have obtained a permanent license.

Thank you for your cooperation,
