AlRabeeah Announces a Program to Strengthen KSA Health Service

Health Minister Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah announced a 60-point program to strengthen the Kingdom’s health service. He made the announcement during a consultative meeting of leading Health Ministry officials in Laith.

Dr. Khaled Mirghalani, spokesman for the ministry, said the program is aimed at improving the efficiency of public health institutions, raising monitoring levels, increasing the quality of health services, developing manpower capabilities and strengthening infrastructure.

He added that the ministry intends to expand its home health care program. “More than 1,500 patients have been treated under this service so far,” Mirghalani added. The expansion will lead to improvements in operation room services, visiting-doctor and health awareness programs. Services of specialized doctors would be made available to patients living in remote areas.

He said the ministry would conduct intensive training programs for its staff to enhance their capabilities, adding that they would be trained within and outside the Kingdom. “We’ll benefit a lot from the agreements signed by Saudi universities with their foreign counterparts,” he said, adding that a pioneers’ recognition program will be introduced to honor efficient and hardworking staff.

Mirghalani said the minister has instructed all health officials in provinces and cities not to take individual decisions. Rather they should consult other officials before and give priority to winning the satisfaction of patients and protecting their health.
