Accreditation plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality, safety, and efficiency of organ donation and transplantation services. It provides a clear regulatory framework that ensures compliance with clinical, ethical, and organizational standards. Standardizing procedures helps reduce disparities, improve operational efficiency, and enhance the overall quality of medical services in this sensitive field.
The Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation (SCOT) offers a rigorous accreditation process aimed at evaluating and officially accrediting medical centers and hospitals that adhere to specific standards in the field of organ and tissue transplantation. The accreditation program is a key part of SCOT’s regulatory framework, which aims to enhance patient safety, ensure service quality, and uphold ethical practices throughout all stages of organ transplantation in the Kingdom.
The accreditation program is built upon core objectives aligned with the aspirations of Saudi Vision 2030, and specifically supports the goals outlined under Tier Three of the Health Sector Transformation Program.
Objectives
- Ensure equitable access to organ transplantation services

Post-Accreditation Commitments for Donor and Transplant Hospitals
SCOT emphasizes that accreditation is not a one-time event, but an ongoing commitment to excellence. It requires regular evaluations, continuous updates, and ongoing improvements. Compliance reviews are conducted to assess ongoing adherence to organ donation regulations, their executive guidelines, SCOT’s organizational and procedural manuals, and its ethical and clinical standards.
This continuous commitment ensures ethical integrity and guarantees that all aspects of organ donation and transplantation follow legal and ethical guidelines.
