Abstract
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 has significantly transformed its healthcare sector, with a focus on improving quality, accessibility, and innovation. By leveraging advanced technologies, fostering public-private partnerships, and investing in infrastructure, Vision 2030 aims to provide world-class healthcare to all citizens, while positioning Saudi Arabia as a leader in healthcare innovation. The vision seeks to address key challenges such as regional healthcare disparities, chronic diseases, and the need for healthcare reforms that align with global trends. This article explores the healthcare transformation under Vision 2030, examining the strategic initiatives driving these changes, including the integration of digital health technologies, the promotion of healthcare accessibility in rural areas, and the implementation of a mixed healthcare model that blends public and private sector resources. It also considers the broader implications of these reforms on healthcare equity, patient outcomes, and the future of healthcare delivery in Saudi Arabia.
