The Saudi health care sector is seeing major transformations in line with Saudi Vision 2030, which focuses on enhancing the quality of preventive and therapeutic health care services.
This was demonstrated during the inauguration of Houston Methodist Hospital’s new office in Riyadh, which will cater to its Saudi-based partners and global patients.
Vision 2030 addresses the Kingdom’s health care sector challenges, and will work on promoting preventive care, reducing infectious diseases and encouraging citizens to make better use of primary care.
With an estimated 2 million increase in the Saudi population by 2020, doctors will be trained to further improve treatment for chronic diseases such as heart ailments, diabetes and cancers that threaten the nation’s health.
Houston Methodist aims to improve access to medical services and reduce waiting times for appointments with specialists and consultants through various partnerships with key health care institutions.
Cathy Easter, president and CEO of Houston Methodist Global Health Care Services, said: “With a relationship spanning more than three decades, the health care sector in the Kingdom has witnessed major improvements in …. patient care, education and transformational leadership.”
She said that Houston Methodist has been a long-standing partner in the Kingdom “and with health care being one of the main focus areas of Vision 2030, our commitment to the Kingdom’s health care sector remains unchanged.”
Easter said that the office will serve as a focal point for Houston Methodist’s global efforts with the Ministry of Health as well as public and private health care institutions.
The new office will assist Saudi patients with their clinical and non-clinical needs in addition to facilitating exchanges between official and private health care organizations, physicians, nurses and patients.
The office’s inauguration took place following the launch of the First National Sepsis Reduction Campaign, headed by the Saudi Patient Safety Center, in partnership with the Ministry of Health and Houston Methodist Hospital.
