Yes, you can pursue business activities alongside healthcare-related work in the UAE after your studies.

The UAE Labour Law allows employees to hold part-time jobs or run a business in addition to full-time employment if you meet certain conditions:
- Part-time work permit: You must obtain this from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE). The current application fee is AED 100, with a AED 500 approval fee (subject to change).
- Non-compete clause/NOC: If your business overlaps with your main job, your employment contract may require a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from your employer. Granting an NOC is at your employer’s discretion.
- Skilled workers: If you have a university degree, you may take up multiple part-time roles with the necessary permits, even without your main employer’s approval.

Make sure to follow all legal requirements and obtain the necessary permits before starting business activities.
