Healthcare professionals seeking job opportunities in Dubai now have a powerful new tool at their fingertips.
The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) has unveiled the ‘Opportunities Platform’, a cutting-edge digital solution designed to streamline the recruitment process for doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and other healthcare specialists. Launched at the Arab Health 2025 exhibition, the platform aims to revolutionize how medical professionals find and secure jobs in Dubai’s thriving healthcare sector.
A One-Stop Solution for Job Seekers
Gone are the days of scouring multiple job sites or relying on recruitment agencies. The Opportunities Platform serves as a centralized hub, connecting job seekers with vacancies across hospitals and healthcare institutions in Dubai. By integrating with the DHA’s Sheryan system, the portal offers a seamless experience for both job seekers and employers.
Dr. Hisham Al Hammadi, Director of Health Licensing at the DHA, emphasized the platform’s user-friendly design.
“This platform showcases available vacancies in Dubai’s healthcare sector, enabling qualified professionals to identify and secure suitable opportunities,”
he said. Job seekers can easily browse postings, apply online, and filter opportunities based on their qualifications and experience.
Empowering Employers with Advanced Tools
For healthcare institutions, the platform offers a range of features to simplify recruitment. Employers can manage job postings electronically, benefit from automated candidate filtering, and generate detailed reports to address workforce needs.
“Employers can list their vacancies and recruit the best talent from around the world,”
added Dr. Al Hammadi.
The platform also provides valuable insights into the healthcare job market, including employment trends. This data empowers policymakers and healthcare institutions to make informed decisions and plan strategically for future workforce demands.
Supporting Emiratisation and Global Talent Acquisition
A key objective of the Opportunities Platform is to support the UAE’s Emiratisation strategy, which aims to increase the participation of Emirati professionals in the private sector. By encouraging private healthcare institutions to hire more Emirati talent, the platform strengthens national workforce development while also attracting international experts.
“The platform enhances Dubai’s appeal to global experts while strengthening Emiratisation efforts in the private healthcare sector,”
said Dr. Al Hammadi. This dual focus not only addresses immediate workforce needs but also positions Dubai as a global hub for world-class medical care.
A Boost for Investors and Policymakers
Beyond recruitment, the platform serves as a valuable resource for investors in the healthcare sector. By providing access to a robust pool of qualified professionals, it helps investors identify workforce gaps and develop strategic plans to meet future demands. This is particularly crucial as Dubai’s rapidly growing population continues to drive demand for high-quality healthcare services.
A Step Toward Global Healthcare Leadership
The launch of the Opportunities Platform marks a significant milestone in Dubai’s journey to remain at the forefront of global healthcare innovation. By leveraging advanced digital solutions, the platform not only simplifies the job search process but also ensures that Dubai’s healthcare sector is equipped with the best talent to meet evolving challenges.
“The launch of the Opportunities Platform marks a significant step in ensuring Dubai remains at the forefront of global healthcare innovation while providing a seamless job search experience for aspiring professionals,”
concluded Dr. Al Hammadi.
For healthcare professionals and institutions alike, the Opportunities Platform represents a game-changing tool that promises to transform the recruitment landscape in Dubai’s healthcare sector.
