Nurses in Qatar are licensed by the Ministry of Public Health’s Department of Healthcare Professions (DHP), still widely known by its former name QCHP. Licensing involves an eligibility assessment, primary source verification and a computer-based multiple-choice exam delivered by Prometric. The department publishes the exam requirements for each profession; use those, not third-party figures.
