Is Doctor a regulated route in Angola?

Doctor is a regulated profession in most countries: you usually register with a national health or nursing council and have your credentials verified before you can practise — a step that is separate from your degree. Confirm the licensing body for Angola early, because it often takes longer than the job search itself.
