MOHAP & EDE Product Registration in UAE

What Is MOHAP Product Registration?

The Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) is the primary federal authority in the UAE responsible for overseeing products that impact human health and safety. To maintain the highest standards of public wellness, the UAE government mandates a rigorous registration process for specific product categories.
MOHAP registration (now increasingly managed via the Emirates Drug Establishment – EDE for technical products) is a legal requirement. Without this approval, health-related products cannot be imported, cleared through customs, or distributed within the UAE.
