Life events represent a series of personal milestones and situations that require direct interaction with healthcare services to ensure the safety and well-being of individuals and those around them. The Ministry of Health has classified these events under a dedicated section to help people easily access the information and services they need at each stage of life or during significant social or health-related transitions.
One of the most prominent services is employment services, through which the Ministry provides information and procedures for applying to health sector jobs. Electronic forms and updated announcements are made available to attract qualified professionals and strengthen the healthcare workforce.
Pre-marital medical screening is another key preventive step aimed at building healthy families. The screening includes comprehensive tests for genetic and infectious diseases that could be transmitted between spouses or to their children. The Ministry offers multiple centers for testing and provides quick results electronically.
The estimated due date calculator is a valuable tool for pregnant women, helping them plan and track their pregnancy more precisely, thereby enhancing the quality of pre- and postnatal care.
During childhood, childhood vaccinations serve as a cornerstone of preventive health in the Kingdom. The Ministry offers a national immunization schedule along with digital reminders to ensure that no vaccine doses are missed.
For those coming to work in Saudi Arabia, specific medical screening procedures are in place to verify that incoming workers are free of communicable diseases—ensuring a safe working and social environment.
To enhance safety at border entry points, the Ministry has developed a preventive procedures manual for port workers, which includes professional health guidelines for customs, airport, and seaport staff to reduce infection risks and manage potential outbreaks.
The Ministry also places significant emphasis on health during religious pilgrimages, such as Umrah and visits, by offering a package of health instructions and preventive measures. These include recommended vaccinations, emergency services, and health guidelines for the elderly and those with chronic illnesses.
Together, these services and resources under the “Life Events” category reflect the Ministry of Health’s commitment to supporting citizens and residents through all life stages, from employment to marriage, from early childhood to travel. The Ministry provides a comprehensive, integrated care system aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, putting human health at the heart of national priorities.
