Health Minister Fahad Al-Jalajel Highlights Saudi Arabia's Healthcare Progress At Model Of Care Forum 2025

Fahad Al-Jalajel, the Minister of Health and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Health Holding Company, highlighted the remarkable progress in Saudi Arabia's healthcare sector. This advancement aligns with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030. At the Model of Care Forum 2025, he noted the sector's substantial contributions to national health goals.

Al-Jalajel announced a significant change: renaming the Modern Healthcare Model to the Saudi Healthcare Model. This model aims to reach more citizens and residents, treat cases innovatively, and improve operational efficiency. It also focuses on enhancing quality of life through specialized healthcare pathways that transition patients from pain to hope.

The implementation of this modern healthcare approach has led to notable outcomes. Premature deaths from chronic diseases have decreased by 40%, while fatalities from traffic accidents have been reduced by 50%. "These efforts saved 75,000 lives, demonstrating the healthcare sector's evolution toward a more comprehensive and sustainable model," Al-Jalajel stated.

In 2024 alone, over 28 million individuals benefited from various healthcare facilities under this model. The treatment rate for heart attacks improved significantly, reaching 70% within the target timeframe. This progress underscores the proactive role of healthcare clusters across Saudi Arabia in addressing societal needs effectively.

Al-Jalajel emphasized that leadership support has been crucial in developing a world-class healthcare model in Saudi Arabia. This support has enabled significant advancements in human health priorities and empowered the national healthcare workforce to achieve outstanding results.

The ambitious vision set forth by Saudi leadership is paving the way for transformative changes in the healthcare sector. The focus remains on creating a healthy society by leveraging innovative treatments and improving overall health outcomes for all citizens and residents.

The Kingdom's commitment to enhancing its healthcare system continues to attract global attention. With ongoing efforts and strategic initiatives, Saudi Arabia is poised to maintain its position as a leader in delivering high-quality healthcare services worldwide.
