Questions
Where do the DOH questions come from?
Each question is drawn from DOH Abu Dhabi's Standard for Healthcare Facility Licensure and the standards beside it, and names the standard it comes from with a link to the regulator's own page. The facts were checked against doh.gov.ae on 15 October 2026.
Does the score predict my DOH licence?
No. The score shows where your evidence is strong and where it is thin, area by area, so you know what to work on first. DOH decides the licence after its own assessment.
Does DOH endorse this quiz or wai?
Department of Health Abu Dhabi registers and rates providers. It does not approve, certify or endorse software, wai included, and software cannot earn a licence on a provider's behalf. wai keeps the records your team uses to show DOH how care is delivered, and DOH decides the licence.
