Ministry of Health, or MOH, is the licensing exam mandated for health professionals to work in the UAE, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Candidates may appear for the test in several centres across India including Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai, Bengaluru and Thiruvananthapuram.
The online test features written, practical and viva segments in a multiple-choice format. The MOH certification is required for healthcare professionals to be considered for jobs in five of the UAE’s seven emirates – Sharjah, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Ajman, and Umm Al Quwain.
There is no prescribed syllabus for nurses taking the MOH examination and prospective candidates have to prepare based on their specialization. A candidate may attempt the exam only thrice.
