Saudi Arabia's New Care Model and the Transformation of Health Care Kingdom's Vision 2030

Abstract

"Vision 2030" was the framework adopted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to guide its economic development and foster national expansion. The vision outlined the Kingdom's aspirations to establish itself as a global leader by accomplishing the following three primary objectives: a flourishing economy, a dynamic society, and an ambitious nation. In June 2016, the Kingdom initiated a national transformation program (NTP) in accordance with "Vision 2030" in order to achieve this objective. The transformation of health care is among the NTP's eight themes. Healthcare facilities in the Kingdom have a history of nearly a century. To attain the "vision 2030" objective, the Kingdom must modernize its health care system, despite significant strides in improving the health of its population in recent decades. The objective of this essay is to provide a description of the new Model of Care (MOC) as it pertains to the recent healthcare transformation in Saudi Arabia as outlined in the Kingdom's vision 2030. The MOC concept originated from a desire to comprehend the present condition and amass knowledge. It is predicated on the six systems of care (SOC): preventative care, premeditated interventions, pediatric and maternal care, critical issues, chronic ailments, and end-of-life care. The SOC is segmented across various "service layers" in order to facilitate individuals' recovery and restore their health when necessary. Twenty-seven of the forty-two interventions described in the new MOC are distributed across the six SOC, while the remaining fifteen are distributed across the numerous SOC. The completion of all MOC interventions will facilitate the Saudi health care system's transition to the "vision 2030" of the kingdom.
