HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY UPDATE:
**One Word Can Cross the Line**

We recently came across an important reminder for healthcare professionals in Dubai: the title you use publicly must accurately reflect your licence and professional status.

Under DHA medical advertising and social media standards, healthcare professionals and facilities must ensure that their content is accurate, ethical and not misleading. This includes using titles such as “Consultant” or “Specialist” only when they match the practitioner’s licensed designation.

The rules also extend to:

• Before-and-after images
• Patient videos and testimonials
• Social media promotions
• Claims about treatment results
• Influencer and promotional content

Your qualifications, licence and reputation have taken years to build, so make sure your online presence represents them correctly.

**In healthcare, one word can make a significant difference.**

Dr Expat supports healthcare professionals with licensing, upgrades, license transfers from one authority to another, recruitment for hospitals and clinics, and career opportunities for healthcare professionals across the UAE and GCC

Don’t Forget Your Tax Obligations

Working in the UAE may mean no UAE personal income tax, but depending on your nationality, residency status, and financial interests, you may still have tax reporting or obligations in your home country.

Doctors are experts in medicine… not necessarily financial planning.

And honestly, most of us are so busy building our careers that we rarely stop to properly review whether our finances are actually structured in the best way, especially living as expats.

Coming from a financial services background myself before setting up Dr. Expat, I still found it eye opening when I recently had my own finances reviewed.

Things change.

That’s why we’ve partnered with a leading international financial planning company with specialist teams dedicated to supporting doctors and dentists globally.

If you would like to book a FREE consultation, please send an email to [email protected] with your full name, profession, location and contact details.

Please write “Financial Planning” in the subject line
