Minister of Health and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Health Holding Company Fahad Al-Jalajel affirmed that the Kingdom's healthcare sector has made significant progress, reflecting its commitment to achieving the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.
Speaking at the Model of Care Forum 2025, he underscored the sector's significant contributions. Implementing the modern healthcare model led to a 40% decrease in premature deaths from chronic diseases and a 50% reduction in traffic accident fatalities. "These efforts saved 75,000 lives, demonstrating the healthcare sector's evolution toward a more comprehensive and sustainable model," he stated.
Al-Jalajel also announced the renaming of the Modern Healthcare Model to the Saudi Healthcare Model. He emphasized that this model aims to reach a greater number of citizens and residents, treat cases innovatively, achieve higher operational and financial efficiency, and improve quality of life through specialized healthcare pathways that transition patients from pain to hope, ultimately creating a healthy society.
He highlighted the model's achievements during 2024, noting that it benefited over 28 million individuals through various healthcare facilities. He also cited the sector's success in improving the heart attack treatment rate to 70% within the target timeframe, praising the significant role of healthcare clusters across the Kingdom in proactively meeting society's needs.
Al-Jalajel stressed that leadership support has been fundamental in enabling Saudi Arabia to develop a top-tier healthcare model that attracts global attention. He underlined the priority of human health and the capability of the national healthcare workforce to achieve exceptional results due to this support and ambitious vision, paving the way for significant changes in the healthcare sector.
