Our story

Waraqa Publishing House Ltd.

“The measure of a nation lies in its knowledge and understanding”

Introduction:

It is of increasing concern among our various institutions of higher education that as of yet, there exists no unifying entity prepared to offer the essential service of centralized oversight with the expertise necessary for the coordinated and sustainable advancement of scientific research in Saudi Arabia.

In addition, it is widely acknowledged that a successful creation of any referential body of knowledge takes considerable time and investment to be amassed, evaluated, and made available through subsequent publications. It is therefore of growing concern that major investments and noteworthy successes in the advancement of the medical field in the Kingdom have been few and far between, it remaining a very “green field” with distinct short-falls in modernization of practices and literary assertions.

It also holds true that for there to be a referential body of literature in any field, including medicine, there must necessarily be a repository. In most countries, there exists some form of national library or archive to serve this purpose (now going digital as the technology develops), allowing a quick and efficient access to incalculable amounts of information for review and consultation.

It is to address this last point that led to the creation Waraqa Publishing House ltd., a Saudi startup that specializes in the correct handling of medical literary publications, from their infancy to their publication in custom created online journals, and beyond in events such as scientific conferences, symposiums and awareness campaigns.

Our commitment to these goals can be seen in out consistent and proven efforts in assisting many local institutions and medical facilities in improving their ranking by increasing their outreach capabilities, transparency and overall quality of publicized materials.

To the present date, we possess an ever expanding reputation and experience, a proven track record, and undeniable success in the position of a private company that provides one of the most comprehensive suite of services nationally. These include. in broad terms publishing, editing, RGMS administration, consulting, project structuring, and various statistical data analysts.
