If you’re working in Dubai’s food, hospitality, salon, or healthcare sectors, getting an Occupational Health Card (OHC) isn’t optional—it’s a legal requirement. At MAF Government Transaction Center in Al Karama, we make this process faster, easier, and fully compliant with UAE regulations. Whether you're an individual applying for the first time, or a business managing staff renewals, our center is authorized to assist you with OHC typing and submission for all relevant categories.
An Occupational Health Card, sometimes referred to as a Food Handlers Card or Health Card, is issued by the Dubai Health Authority (DHA). It certifies that the individual has undergone the required medical screening and health checks to work in professions that involve public health and hygiene safety.
Once the OHC typing is completed and submitted, Dubai Health Authority usually processes and issues the card within 2 to 5 working days, depending on medical test results and application volume.
