“I had no idea which UAE authority to apply to for pharmacy. DHA, DOH, MOH — the differences were completely unclear to me. My consultant explained it in 10 minutes and had me on the right track immediately. The MOH exam was harder than I expected but the study plan helped.”

— Sandra O.

The Journey

Sandra's first question to MJN was the right one: "Which UAE licensing authority do I apply to?" For pharmacists, this is not obvious. The UAE's three main healthcare regulatory bodies — DHA (Dubai), DOH (Abu Dhabi), and MOH (Ministry of Health, covering the Northern Emirates including Sharjah) — each licence pharmacy practice in their jurisdiction. The right answer depends on where you intend to work.

Sandra's target was Sharjah. That meant MOH — not DHA, not DOH. Her MJN consultant explained the distinction in the first consultation and had her on the correct pathway immediately, avoiding the wasted months that come from preparing for the wrong examination or approaching the wrong authority.

The MOH licensing examination for pharmacists is rigorous. Sandra found it harder than expected — but she had a structured study plan from MJN that targeted the specific competencies the MOH exam tests. She passed, and her licence was issued within 3.5 months of engaging MJN.

Sandra is now a Clinical Pharmacist with a private hospital group in Sharjah. The combination of clear pathway guidance and exam-specific preparation compressed what is often a six-month-plus process into 3.5 months.
