In a move that will impact many Indian doctors, Saudi Arabian authorities have decided not to renew contracts of foreign doctors who have completed 20 years of service.

Similar situation is reported from UK, Australia and many other countries.

According to media reports, there are more than 43,000 doctors in the Kingdom, of whom 78 per cent are expatriates.

The new decision aims at creating job opportunities for qualified Saudi doctors who have returned home after completing higher studies in foreign countries.

"The Health Ministry has banned foreign doctors who have completed more than 20 years service in the Kingdom from practicing the profession," Health Minister Dr Hamad Al-Manie was quoted as saying in Al-Jazirah Arabic daily.
