    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the typical sample size for Saudi physician research?

    Quantitative studies typically range from n=75 to n=300+ depending on specialty and region. Qualitative programs usually require 12-18 interviews for saturation across Riyadh, Jeddah, and Eastern Province.

    How do you access physicians in MOH hospitals and medical cities?

    We combine SCFHS-aligned recruitment channels, institutional approvals, conference-based outreach, and specialty society networks with region-specific validation protocols.

    How long does SFDA registration usually take?

    Standard pathways are often 12-18 months, while expedited or priority pathways may move faster depending on therapy class, evidence package quality, and pricing negotiation complexity.

    What is unique about NUPCO in Saudi market access?

    NUPCO central procurement strongly shapes public-sector uptake through tender cycles, pricing pressure, and contract terms, making tender intelligence and access sequencing critical.
