FAQ

Is the certificate accepted by all Dubai employers?

Yes. DHA-licensed doctors issue DHA-valid certificates that are accepted across the UAE. Employers can verify on the DHA Sheryan platform.

How much does a sick leave certificate cost in Dubai?

It's included in the price of a standard GP consultation — there's no separate fee for the certificate itself. See our Pricing page for current rates.

Can I get one without seeing a doctor?

No. A medical certificate must follow a proper clinical assessment — we won't issue one without consulting you first. That's what makes it valid.

What if I need more than a few days off?

If your condition warrants it, the doctor can extend the certificate or refer you to a specialist. We never overstate or understate what's clinically appropriate.

What patients say

Trusted by families and professionals across Dubai.

"Called at 8am with a fever, had a British-trained doctor at my door by 11. He sat with me for 45 minutes — not the 5 minutes I'm used to. Prescription delivered same day. Felt like having a proper GP again."
