Author: Onco MedicineQuality Control Desk
On September 8, 2026, patient support organizations in Dubai published a step-by-step guide for importing specialty medicines into the UAE. Specialty drugs for rare diseases, acromegaly, and advanced endocrine conditions often require importation when not stocked locally. Sourcing these medicines legally through Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) channels is vital to maintain treatment schedules.
At Onco Medicine, we support patients in the UAE with temperature-controlled shipping and rapid customs clearance for high-value specialty medications.
