The College of Medicine at Umm Al-Qura University was established in 1996. In September 2016, the Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery program at Umm Al-Qura University was developed and updated to become world class and integrated, in order to graduate a distinguished class of Umm Al-Qura University doctors. This was achieved by signing contracts with the University College of London, which is one of the best medical schools in the world.
