From Eligibility to Final License - We Handle Every Step.
Getting licensed to practise across the GCC is complex - different authorities, exams, and endless paperwork. Our team guides doctors, nurses, and allied professionals through the entire process, from eligibility check and DataFlow verification to booking and passing the Prometric exam.

The team ran my Dataflow, mapped my Emergency Medicine credentials and prepped me for Prometric — I was licensed and on the floor in Dubai far sooner than I imagined.

Every submission was tracked for me and I never had to chase a single credential. My DHA consultant licence came through cleanly.

First Medical knew exactly which committee reviews family medicine and handled the PSV end to end. I started consulting in Dubai within weeks of landing.
The questions we get asked most, answered straight. For regulator- specific detail, see the authority comparison.
We handle GCC medical licensing end to end for healthcare professionals. That covers three things: regulator applications (DHA, DOH, MOHAP, SHA, DCAS, SCFHS, QCHP, NHRA, OMSB and Kuwait MOH), Prometric exam preparation through authority-specific question banks, and placement into partner hospitals across the Gulf. We are a consultancy, not a regulator — we prepare and submit your file, the authority issues the licence.
Typically 8 to 16 weeks from a complete file to an issued licence. Dataflow primary source verification is the longest single step at 4 to 8 weeks, because it involves your university, licensing council and past employers responding directly. Missing or unattested documents are the most common cause of delay, which is why we audit the document set before anything is submitted.
It depends on the emirate or country you intend to work in, because each licence is valid only in its own jurisdiction. A DHA licence covers Dubai, DOH covers Abu Dhabi, MOHAP covers the northern emirates, SCFHS covers Saudi Arabia, and so on. Our free eligibility check tells you which authorities you already qualify for based on your qualification and years of experience.
Usually no. Most GCC authorities deliver their licensing exams through Prometric, which has test centres worldwide, so you can sit the exam in your home country. You only need to be in the country once an employer sponsors your licence activation and residency.
Dataflow is primary source verification. Rather than trusting the copies you upload, the regulator pays Dataflow to contact your university, your home licensing council and your previous employers directly and confirm each document is genuine. Almost every GCC authority requires it before issuing an eligibility ID, and the report can often be reused if you later apply to a second authority.
Yes. Candidates who register for our Talent Pool are matched against live vacancies at partner hospitals across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman and Kuwait. Licensing and placement are separate services — you can use either on its own.
The regulator, Dataflow and Prometric charges are set by third parties and vary by authority — each authority page carries an indicative fee breakdown in USD. Our own consultancy fee is quoted after the eligibility check, once we know which pathway applies and how much of the file already exists.
