He clarified that the number of examinees who have BA qualifications is 1255, classified as follows: 365 GPs; 210 pharmacists; 133 nurses ; 248 dentists ; 162 laboratorians ; 43 clinical pharmacists ;36 anethestists ; 18 radiologists ; 24 nutritionists and 16 midwifes.

Accordingly, there is no place in medicine for those who are ill-equipped to practise due to poor training and lack of skills.He also emphasized that the medical licensing exam has become a common evaluation system for those wanting to get a licence to practise medicine in Yemen. So, a medical grad must receive a licence to practise medicine before he or she can be called a physician in a legal sense, a process that usually entails examination by the Supreme Medical Council. So the exam assesses a physician’s ability to apply knowledge, concepts, and principles, and to determine fundamental patient-centered skills that are important in health and disease and that constitute the basis of safe and effective patient care. For her part, the secretary of the Supreme Medical Council, Dr.Fadia Al-Dailmi mentioned that the Supreme Medical Council is the sole official entity that grants medical licence in Yemenand it sets its own rules and regulations that require passing an examination that demonstrates qualification for licensure.
