Health Professionals' Registration and Licensing Directive

Introduction: This directive is issued to ensure that healthcare services provided by professionals are standardized and beneficial to the public. It aims to harmonize the registration, licensing, and regulatory systems across the country.

Key Highlights:

• Mandatory Licensing: Every health professional must be registered and possess a valid professional license to practice.

• Foreign Professionals: Professionals coming from abroad must present authenticated educational and work experience documents. They are also required to provide verification letters from the licensing body of their country of origin.

• Renewal Process: Professional licenses must be renewed periodically. Participation in Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is a mandatory requirement for renewal.

• Accountability and Control: The directive establishes strict monitoring to ensure only licensed professionals are employed. Legal and administrative actions will be taken against those practicing or employing staff without valid licenses.
