I am an NRI residing in Dubai and a Medical Doctor by profession, parctising in Dubai for last 5 years. For Medical parctitioners to practice there is a need for license and with Dubai license one cannot work in other emirates like Sharjah/ Abu Dhabi/ RAK. I thought of applying for Ministry of Health Specialist license UAE and approcahed the MOH office for details. They wanted to have my Diplomate of National Borad Examination ( D.N.B. certificate) to be certified genuine from Indian Consulate General Office, Dubai. I submitted an application with a fe of AED 60/ on 3rd August 2010. I was told to enquire about it after a month as the enquiry has to go to concerned University and verified. I visited the CGI office after a month and I was told that it is too early and it would easily take 3 months for these things to be done. Nothing was done even after 3 months, except an answer that they are waiting a response from the DNB office, Delhi. I was getting frustrated and nervous as I would not be bale to work elsewhere without this license. After numerous phone calls ( most of the times they would not pick it up at all!!) they told better I enquire about it directly with the Board. After numerous calls and sending one of my relatives who is in Delhi we came to know that we have to pay Rs 2000/ towards issuiance of a certificate from DNB. Infact i was not looking for a Genuinity certificate from DNB, I wanted only a letter from CGI office Dubai mentioning that they verified this with National Board office in Indai and such a certificate is issued and genuine. They didint understand it and CGI was not having any idea, eventhough they received fee for it. We paid Rs 2000/ through UAE exchange on 31st January 2011 and following it up with numerous ISD calls from here to National Board office, and if its a good day for us somebody wold pick the phone and tell us to call after an hour and when we try after an hour nobody would pick it or tells that either they didn't see the file or didn't receive payment or the concerned person not on desk so on and so forth. Even after suffering this much and waiting for 8months I am not sure when it would be done!! Can anyone help? Was this information helpful? |
