description | Saudi Arabia has made significant progress in its healthcare system through increased healthcare spending, improved healthcare infrastructure, and better quality of care. The government has introduced initiatives such as universal health coverage, accreditation programs, and healthcare technology adoption. As a result, there has been an increase in access to healthcare services and improvements in healthcare indicators. However, the system still faces challenges such as a shortage of healthcare workers, a lack of preventive care, and health disparities between urban and rural areas. Addressing these challenges is crucial for achieving a more equitable and sustainable healthcare system in Saudi Arabia. |
