How can i renew an Occupational Health Card in Dubai

Question

How can i renew an Occupational Health Card in Dubai? I tried to ask few friends but they are in the same boat as me.

Been searching all over, so much information yet nothing of value. Called the Dubai government health department and they told me to call the city.

Answer 1

Ok after so much research i found this: To obtain or renew occupational health cards in Dubai it is a straight forward process.  

This service enables the customer to obtain or renew occupational health cards, where this service is mandatory and eligible by all the workers in health institutions and relevant public health; such as restaurants, hotels, factories, nurseries, barber shops and others and personnel working in hazardous occupations.
