Medical Device Registration in the United Arab Emirates

Medical Device Registration

Qserve’s experts guide manufacturers through the medical device registration process in the UAE, ensuring compliance with the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) regulations.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a key entry point into the Middle Eastern healthcare market. To ensure patient safety and product effectiveness, all medical devices must be registered with MOHAP under the Drug Control Department (DCD) before being marketed in the UAE.

Qserve’s regulatory experts support manufacturers in navigating compliance requirements, documentation preparation, and regulatory approvals to facilitate a smooth market entry into the UAE.
