• The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is a newly developed nation, with deep historical and moral roots. Its people as well its health care personnel s suppose to be free of disuse and all medical errors . they should do the right thing first time and all the time. They should be honest, trustee and perfect in everything. However, due to increasing medical errors mainly with malpractice. There are widely claimants for studying this strange phenomena.

•  As educationist I believe that this problem starts from education by which we can produce perfect healthcare or healthy heaven on the earth. As it widely noticed that the is no or low place for ethics in health sciences education, I started my first step to investigate this notice with its strange phenomena. With Curriculum Documentary Analysis, a survey study was conduct to explore the place and significance of ethics in the Saudi Arabian Health Professions Education and Practice (SAHPEP) .

• As it is expected, all participants the physicians, dentists, pharmacists, nurses and the applied medical assistants 347 (100%) said "Ethics is significance for their professions. The results were more stranger, almost there is no place for modern ethics in many SAHPEP, the majority have no idea about code of ethics and many have no idea about code of conduct.
