SHA Licensing in Sharjah
Planning to Work in Sharjah?
Healthcare professionals working in facilities regulated by the Sharjah Health Authority (SHA) must obtain the appropriate SHA assessment and professional license.
This may include professionals applying for their first license in Sharjah and those moving from another licensing authority, including MOHAP, where a transition or new SHA approval is required.
Dr Expat can review your current licensing status and guide you through the correct SHA application route.
Who Needs an SHA license?
An SHA licence is required for healthcare professionals working in a healthcare facility regulated by the Sharjah Health Authority.
As licensing jurisdiction may depend on the healthcare facility, we will confirm whether SHA licensing applies before beginning your application.
