حول QCHP
The Department of Healthcare Professions (DHP), formerly known as the Qatar Council for Healthcare Practitioners (QCHP), is the sole licensing body for healthcare professionals in the State of Qatar. Operating under the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH), DHP handles registration, licensing, and professional conduct for all healthcare practitioners in Qatar. The transition from QCHP to DHP brought significant regulatory updates.
In December 2025, Circular DHP/2025/24 updated Circular 13/2023 on registration and licensing, setting internship, experience and qualifying exam exemption rules for Qatar graduates, Qatari nationals, offspring of Qatari women and residents' family members. Around the same time, DHP approved QuadraBay as a second Primary Source Verification provider (DHP/2025/20), later joined by AVS (DHP/2026/36). Qatar's fully digital application system makes the process more streamlined than many GCC authorities, but the recent regulatory changes require careful attention to the latest requirements.
Qatar offers exceptional earning potential for healthcare professionals, with tax-free salaries, modern healthcare infrastructure, and a growing demand for qualified practitioners. Flagship institutions like Hamad Medical Corporation, Sidra Medicine, and a thriving private healthcare sector create diverse opportunities. Understanding the new DHP framework is essential for anyone applying to work in Qatar.

إرشادات خاصة بالفئة
Doctors (Physicians & Surgeons)
DHP classifies physicians from Resident through Senior Consultant. For the internship route in Circular DHP/2025/24 (Qataris, offspring of Qatari women and residents' family members who graduated abroad), the medical degree must be at least 6 years excluding internship. Specialists need recognized postgraduate training plus experience. The QCHP Prometric exam is specialty-specific. Some specialties may require additional oral assessment. Qatar's Hamad Medical Corporation and Sidra Medicine actively recruit specialist physicians.
Nurses & Midwives
DHP requires a BSN from a recognized institution for registered nurse classification. DHP has tightened its recognized universities list for nursing, particularly for Asian institutions. Specialized nursing certifications (critical care, emergency, neonatal) are highly valued. Qatar offers some of the highest nursing salaries in the GCC.
Allied Health Professionals
DHP licenses a comprehensive range of allied health professions. The recognized institutions list for allied health was tightened in recent years. A bachelor-level qualification from a recognized institution is the standard minimum. The updated CPD framework (2023-2024) requires ongoing professional development for license renewal.
Pharmacists
A 5-year BPharm or PharmD from a recognized institution is required. Under the new DHP framework, academic duration is verified as part of PSV. Hospital pharmacists, clinical pharmacists, and community pharmacists all have distinct requirements. Qatar's pharmaceutical sector is growing with new facilities and expanded services.

الجدول الزمني النموذجي
Qatar's fully digital system makes DHP one of the more efficient GCC licensing processes. However, mandatory Primary Source Verification is usually the longest step, so start it early. Neelim reduces the timeline by parallel-tracking PSV and exam preparation and ensuring compliance with the latest DHP circulars.
الأخطاء الشائعة التي يجب تجنبها
هذه أكثر الأسباب شيوعًا لتأخير أو رفض طلبات QCHP. تضمن Neelim تجنبك لكل واحد منها.
Misreading Circular DHP/2025/24 - this December 2025 circular annulled six specific circulars (including 13/2023) and sets experience and exam exemption rules for particular applicant groups; it does not replace every previous circular.
Starting Primary Source Verification late - PSV is mandatory for all DHP applicants and must be completed before you apply for evaluation, through Dataflow, QuadraBay or AVS.
Failing to meet the new academic duration requirements - 6 years for medicine and 5 years for dentistry are now strictly enforced.
Using outdated QCHP information - the authority has been reorganized as DHP under MOPH, with updated processes and criteria.
Not preparing for potential oral or clinical assessment - some categories require more than just the written Prometric exam.
Applying with institutions recently removed from the DHP recognized list - the list has been tightened, especially for nursing and allied health.

QCHP الأسئلة الشائعة حول الترخيص
إجابات على أكثر الأسئلة شيوعًا حول ترخيص إدارة المهن الصحية.
QCHP (Qatar Council for Healthcare Practitioners) has been reorganized as the Department of Healthcare Professions (DHP) under the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH). The functions are the same - professional licensing for all healthcare practitioners in Qatar - and DHP continues to update its rules through circulars, such as Circular DHP/2025/24 issued in December 2025. Many resources still reference QCHP, but DHP is the current designation.
Circular DHP/2025/24, issued on 30 December 2025, updates Circular 13/2023 on registration and licensing. It sets internship and experience requirements for Qatar graduates, Qataris, offspring of Qatari women and residents' family members (including a 6-year medicine and 5-year dentistry degree for the internship route), limits qualifying exam exemptions to Qataris, offspring of Qatari women and Qatar graduates, and annuls circulars 01/2016, 11/2018, 19/2020, 24/2020, 15/2022 and 13/2023. It does not deal with PSV or document attestation.
Yes. DHP lists Primary Source Verification (PSV) as a mandatory requirement for registration and licensing for all healthcare practitioners - this is a standing requirement, not a 2026 change from Circular DHP/2025/24. You can use Dataflow, QuadraBay (approved under DHP/2025/20) or AVS (approved under DHP/2026/36). Verification usually takes several weeks, so start it early.
The DHP licensing process typically takes 12-20 weeks independently or 8-12 weeks with Neelim's assistance. Qatar's fully digital application system is efficient, but Primary Source Verification adds time. The Prometric exam and committee review each take 2-4 weeks.
DHP does not publish official pass rates. Based on candidate experiences, the Qatar Prometric exam is comparable in difficulty to UAE authority exams. Focused preparation using Qatar-specific materials significantly improves pass probability. Some specialties have oral or clinical components in addition to the written CBT.
No. A UAE license (DHA, DOH, MOHAP) or Saudi SCFHS classification is not valid in Qatar. You must obtain a separate DHP license to practice in Qatar. However, your Dataflow PSV results may be transferable if still valid, and your GCC experience is recognized during the DHP evaluation.
Qatar offers highly competitive, tax-free salary packages for healthcare professionals. Salaries typically include base pay, housing allowance, transportation, and annual flights. Physicians at Hamad Medical Corporation and Sidra Medicine earn among the highest salaries in the GCC. Specific amounts vary by profession, specialty, and employer.
