The Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS) is granting six-month temporary registration to all health practitioners who have applied for professional classification, without requiring that they pass the classification test, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
SCFHS spokesman Fahad Al-Qathami said the commission was keen to benefit from an increase in the number of qualified health practitioners without lowering professional standards that guaranteed patients' well-being.
Practitioners must complete the registration procedures and pass the test after the end of the temporary registration.
Al-Qathami wished health practitioners good luck and thanked health sector workers for their efforts in combating the pandemic.
