Asiri: Surveillance bolsters Saudi health security
The article focused on the vital role of epidemiological surveillance in protecting the kingdom's health security, where the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Health emphasized that surveillance systems operate around the clock and serve as the first line of defense in confronting epidemics through prevention and proactive measures. The article highlighted the importance of detecting epidemiological changes before outbreaks occur. It also reviewed the successes of the healthcare system, including an increase in the number of beneficiaries of health insurance to approximately 15 million, and a shift towards preventive services in primary care centers to reduce hospital demand. Additionally, it was noted that the average life expectancy has risen from 74 to 76.9 years, reflecting an improvement in quality of life. This progress is attributed to the integration of "Health in All Policies," collaboration with the private sector, and international and local efforts to address challenges such as non-communicable diseases and antimicrobial resistance.
