The Ministry of Health (MOH), represented by the Public Health Agency, has launched the «Healthy Schools» Program to improve the health of students in concordance with the global standards, policies, and procedures of the World Health Organization (WHO).

The Healthy School can be defined as a place where all school community members, including students, their parents, teachers, and administrators work together to enhance student health. Also, the Healthy School takes all measures to promote the student health along with the educational process through the integrated partnership between MOH and the Ministry of Education (MOE), in addition to adopting all existing measures and a set of basic programs of school health education.

MOH has recently developed a more comprehensive approach that focuses on students in all physical, psychological, social, and religious aspects, in line with the National Transformation Program (NTP) 2020 and Saudi Vision 2030, in terms of education and health aspects.
