Healthcare

The health of a country’s population is an important responsibility of a government. Illness, early deaths and serious disease weaken a country in both economic and social ways. As well as this, a nation needs to care for those people who can’t care for themselves – the young and the elderly.

In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the national health care system has two main sections which provide health care for the population. Firstly, there is a nationwide network of health clinics. These clinics provide basic health services and emergency care. There are also some mobile clinics that regularly visit remote villages. Secondly, there is a network of 350 advanced hospitals and specialist clinics that are in urban areas across the country.

There are three basic principles or ideas that define the kingdom’s health service. First of all, everyone can receive care, including visitors to the country. Secondly, this care is free for everyone. When people are ill, they do not pay for their treatment. Finally, the money for the health service comes from the sale of the kingdom’s oil.

The health care system continues to grow and develop, but it faces one particular problem. A growing health system needs more and more doctors and nurses. Unfortunately, there are few medical colleges in Saudi Arabia, which means there are not many new Saudi doctors and nurses. The majority of the health workers in Saudi Arabia come from other countries. In order to solve this problem, the government is now building new medical training facilities. (Healthcare Review)
