The SCFHS pharmacy route through HEC and Dataflow
Practicing pharmacy in Saudi Arabia requires professional registration through SCFHS. Your PharmD degree, academic transcripts, and Pakistan Pharmacy Council registration must be attested by HEC, legalised through MOFA, and submitted for Dataflow Primary Source Verification. We manage the Pakistan-side paperwork and university verifications so your SCFHS application proceeds without delays.
