Malpractice Insurance

General information

What's medical malpractice insurance?

It's a type of insurance that's got your back as a healthcare professional in case something goes wrong like a mistake or slip-up that causes harm to a patient. It helps cover you legally and financially.

Is medical malpractice insurance required in Saudi Arabia, or is it optional?

Yep, it's required! Saudi law says all licensed healthcare workers whether in public or private sectors must have valid malpractice insurance.

Who makes sure I have insurance?

The Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS) and the Ministry of Health (MOH) will ask for proof of insurance when you apply for or renew your license. Your insurance needs to stay active the whole time you're practicing.
