Critical success factors for health transformation in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA)

Abstract

Healthcare transformation programs generally aim at enhancing quality of care, promoting patient safety, equitability, accessibility, and feasibility of healthcare services. Although the transformation process is gradual, and may often fail to achieve the desired outcomes, nations such as KSA have made substantial public health developments over the last two decades. Particularly, KSA has made tremendous progress in healthcare transformation by emphasizing on healthcare transformation as part of its efforts to achieve its Vision 2030 goals. This paper aims at investigating the critical success factors of healthcare transformation in KSA to find out how focusing on the goals outlined in its Vison 2030 may help KSA restructure and reimagine its healthcare systems and practice to improve overall health quality, accessibility, affordability, and universality.
