Saudi Arabia Quitline — MOH Health Line 937

About this quitline

Saudi Arabia does not run a dedicated quit-smoking phone line, but help is built into the public health system and is free. The Ministry of Health (MOH) operates 937, a health line answered around the clock that handles medical consultations, appointment booking and other services, including referrals to the kingdom's smoking-cessation clinics (عيادات مكافحة التدخين). These clinics, numbering more than a thousand across the country, offer behavioural counselling, nicotine replacement and follow-up at no charge. Tobacco control is coordinated by the National Committee for Tobacco Control (NCTC), which works with the MOH on cessation guidelines and awareness. Calling 937 is the simplest way to start.
