The Saudi Minister of Health, H.E. Fahad Abdulrahman AlJalajel, extended his heartfelt congratulations to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and to His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, on the remarkable progress and continuous prosperity achieved under Saudi Vision 2030 over the past nine years.
Marking the release of the Kingdom's Vision 2030 Annual Report for 2024, the minister highlighted that these accomplishments are the result of the unwavering support and wise leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and the close oversight and direct involvement of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He noted that the Kingdom is moving forward with confidence along its ambitious path toward a future marked by greater development and sustainability, underpinned by a comprehensive vision built on three core pillars: a vibrant society, a thriving economy, and an ambitious nation.
He stated, “The positive performance indicators detailed in the Vision 2030 Annual Report for 2024 reflect the significant qualitative progress achieved across various sectors, including healthcare. Through the Health Sector Transformation Program — one of the key Vision Realization Programs — the Kingdom has surpassed its interim targets for this year concerning the quality of healthcare services. The adoption of the new model of care has led to a 40% reduction in premature mortality from chronic diseases, an increase in average life expectancy to 78.8 years, and a rise in beneficiary satisfaction with healthcare services to 84.2%. Furthermore, seven Saudi hospitals have been ranked among the top 250 hospitals globally, underscoring the effectiveness of the health sector transformation and the Kingdom's commitment to building a more efficient and sustainable healthcare system."
Concluding his statement, the Minister prayed for the continued protection and guidance of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and for the Kingdom's enduring pride, prosperity, security, and stability, wishing for even greater achievements under the leadership's wise stewardship.
