Evidence-based medicine (EBM) it means using current best evidence in decision-making in medicine together with the expertise of decision makers and the expectations and values of patients/people.

EBM aims to apply evidence gained from the scientific method to certain parts of medical practice. It seeks to assess the quality of evidence relevant to the risks and benefits of treatments (including lack of treatment).

NGCEBM aims to promote the concept and practice of Evidence Based Medicine in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and in the GCC. It plays a pivotal role in the production and dissemination of high quality information and timely researched evidence across all areas of healthcare professionals and decision-makers throughout Saudi Arabia and the GCC, with high quality information and timely researched evidence.
