Author: Onco MedicineRegulatory Team
On September 6, 2026, UAE health authorities in Dubai and Abu Dhabi published compliance checklists for personal imports of oncology medicines. Patients requiring advanced cancer treatments like Keytruda or Lenvima can legally import their prescribed medications through the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) personal import scheme.
At Onco Medicine, we operate a direct-to-patient GDP shipping protocol that guarantees authentic medicines, supporting patients in the UAE with secure customs clearance.
