Dubai Health Authority

At the Al Nahda Center, we have a separate section dedicated to DHA where all the medical related services take place. With this service, we intend to make medical services for documentation hassle free.
The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) was launched in 2008 to make healthcare accessible to all in Dubai, UAE. DHA focuses on creating and ensuring the execution of strategies and policies for healthcare in public and private sectors in Dubai. The organization is responsible for enabling partnerships between healthcare providers and it also provides licensing and regulation of medical facilities and professionals.
DHA has introduced The Medical Fitness System (Salem) for Medical Services including Occupational Health Screening and Visa Related medical services. The services offered are for both individuals and corporations across all industries - small, medium and big work sectors. Salem, the new system helps to reduce customer waiting time, minimize human intervention and also makes x-ray and blood test results available to customers electronically.
This service enables the customer to apply for medical fitness test which is necessary to complete the visa procedure at the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs, Dubai. Expatriate customers who are coming to Dubai for the purpose of work, residence or study are eligible to apply for this service.
