Scientific Paper Entitled: The Impact Of The Health Transformation Program Of The Kingdom’s Vision 2030 On The Performance Of Health Personnel In The Government Health Sector In The Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia

Abstract

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia adopted "Vision 2030" as a plan for the country's growth and economic development. The vision outlined the Kingdom's aspirations to become a leader in the world by accomplishing three key objectives: a successful economy, an ambitious nation, and a lively society. In order to achieve this, the Kingdom introduced in June 2016 a national transformation program (NTP) based on "vision 2030." One of the NTP's eight topics is the transformation of health care. The Kingdom's medical institutions have nearly a century of history. Even if the Kingdom's population health has improved significantly in recent years, the "vision 2030" aim still requires modernization of the healthcare system.

The goal of this study is to provide an overview of the new Model of Care (MOC) in light of the recent changes in Saudi health care and the Kingdom's 2030 vision. Understanding the current situation and gathering lessons learned were the foundation of the MOC concept. The national transformation program, driven by social and economic factors, has implemented strategic steps to develop its private healthcare system. These include the establishment of health clusters, the recently approved Private Sector Participation (PSP) Law, which involves several legislative enablers intended to enhance investor confidence in the privatization process, and the National Centre for Privatization & PPP, an official enabler for the privatization of all government sectors. The future of healthcare, like many other developing economies, continues to weigh policies for universal coverage while containing costs.
