Saudi Arabia has continued to expand and enhance the inclusivity of its healthcare services across all regions, now reaching 97% of population centers. This progress is part of ongoing efforts to develop the healthcare system and improve service efficiency and quality, in line with the Health Sector Transformation Program under Vision 2030.

The healthcare network comprises 20 health clusters throughout the Kingdom, around 2,000 primary healthcare centers, and approximately 44,000 hospital beds distributed across cities and regions.

The Virtual Health Hospital has played a key role in broadening geographic coverage, serving more than 365,000 beneficiaries through a network of 241 hospitals and over 1,400 health centers, and offering 114 core and subspecialties.

The Sehhaty platform has facilitated access to healthcare by enabling over 30 million appointments and providing 6 million instant consultations, in addition to offering 74 digital services.

In emergency care, 90% of patients receive urgent or emergency treatment within four hours, and there are 15 intensive care beds per 100,000 people, reflecting the Kingdom’s high level of healthcare readiness.

These indicators highlight the integrated efforts of the healthcare system under the supervision of the Ministry of Health, reinforcing the sustainability of healthcare and ensuring access for beneficiaries across all regions of Saudi Arabia.
