 Conclusion

As a result of the continued attention to and support from the government, Saudi health services have advanced greatly over recent years in all levels of health services: primary, secondary and tertiary. As a consequence, the health of the Saudi population has improved markedly. The MOH has introduced many reforms to its services, with substantial emphasis on PHC.

Despite these achievements, health services, and in particular public sector health services, are still facing many challenges. These include: human resource development; separation of the MOH’s multiple roles (financing, provision, control and supervision of health care delivery); diversifying financial sources; implementing the cooperative health insurance, privatization of public hospitals, effective management of ýchronic diseases; development of practical policies for national crises; establishment of an efficient national health information system and the introduction of e-health. In order to address these challenges and continue to improve the status of the Saudi health care system, the MOH and other related sectors should coordinate their efforts to implement and ensure the success of the new health care strategy.
