Saudi Commission for Health Specialties

The Saudi Commission for Health Specialties, or simply the Saudi Council, is the independent governmental authority that regulates health care-related practices and accreditation at all levels in Saudi Arabia. The SCHS was established on 2 June 1992, by Royal Order M/2, to set standards for health practice. Its headquarters are in Riyadh, and it has several branch offices across the Kingdom.

To date, SCHS has supported and approved more than 30 training programs.

In many higher medical centers in Saudi Arabia, The Saudi Council is regarded as a "dys-regulatory" organisation that in many aspects severely hampers the provision of dedicated health care to the Saudi population.
