Financing Assistance for International Nurses for completion of licensing with SCFHS (Saudi Arabia)
SCFHS Licensing Support – Financial Assistance for International Nurses
Powered by Sharp BH Recruitment Services
Sharp BH’s SCFHS Licensing Support is more than financial aid—it’s a strategic workforce solution that empowers nurses and simplifies international hiring for healthcare providers across Saudi Arabia.
In the journey toward working in Saudi Arabia, full licensing with the Saudi Commission for Healthcare Specialties (SCFHS) is a critical—and often costly—requirement. For many international nurses, particularly those from countries such as the Philippines, India, and other key talent markets, the cost of licensing (often exceeding USD $900) represents a significant barrier—equivalent to 3 to 4 months’ local salary.
Recognising this challenge, Sharp BH offers a practical and ethical solution through our SCFHS Licensing Support Programme, designed to reduce financial strain on nurses while helping employers access fully licensed, job-ready candidates.
What’s Included in SCFHS Licensing Support
Sharp BH provides financial assistance for some, or all of the key components required to obtain SCFHS licensure:
- Mumaris Plus Registration & SCFHS Licensing Fees
- Primary Source Verification via Dataflow
- Prometric Exam Costs
Flexible Financial Models to Suit Employers and Candidates
