Choosing a Qualified Prosthetist in Dubai — What to Look For

Why professionally licensed Licensing Matters for Prosthetics and Orthotics in Dubai

In the UAE, the provision of prosthetics and orthotics is regulated by the the relevant healthcare authority and the UAE Ministry of Health (MOH). Any clinic or practitioner providing prosthetic or orthotic services must hold a valid professional license — without it, services are illegal, uninsured, and potentially dangerous.

What Is a Professionally Licensed Prosthetist?

A professionally licensed prosthetist-orthotist in Dubai has:

• A recognised degree in prosthetics and orthotics (BSc or Masters level)
• Clinical internship experience under a licensed supervisor
• Passed professionally licensed competency examinations
• Undergone criminal background verification
• Holds an active professional license number verifiable on the professionally licensed portal
• Completes continuing education requirements annually

How to Verify a professionally licensed License in Dubai

1. Visit dha.gov.ae → Health Regulation → Verify License
2. Enter the practitioner’s name or license number
3. Confirm the license is “Active” (not expired or suspended)
4. Verify the specialty matches “Prosthetics and Orthotics”

Risks of Using an Unlicensed Provider

• Insurance rejection — all UAE insurers require professionally licensed providers for reimbursement
• Poor fit — unlicensed fabrication frequently causes skin breakdown, pressure sores, and musculoskeletal injury
• No clinical follow-up — prosthetics require regular adjustment as residual limbs change
• Legal liability — using unlicensed medical device providers voids warranties and legal protections
• Safety risks — incorrect prosthetic alignment causes falls, joint damage, and secondary complications
