2/13/2021 Health Sector Governance - Overview

Overview
The health sector, as part of 2030 Vision, is undergoing major transformational
reform aimed at delivering substantial improvements in quality, efficiency, and
safety. These reforms are structured along six themes; 15 specific objectives, and
a set of 22 strategic initiatives aiming at transforming the health sector in the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to ensure sustainable financing, appropriate access, and
a continuous improvement of the quality of services to the citizens and residents of
the Kingdom. This is a major transformation effort which includes the launch of
major initiatives. For example, introduction of health care financing, redefining the
model of care, corporatization, and many more.

The Vision Realization Office (VRO), a function within MoH, has a mandate to
design, operate and monitor these initiatives as part of the National Transformation
Plan. As a result of this transformation, MoH will have a redefined role as the sole
policymaking / regulatory body in KSA (with oversight over other regulatory
agencies). In light of this new vision for MoH, there is an opportunity to review the
current governance arrangements across the healthcare system and design the
future model.

This presents an opportunity to review the current governance arrangements

across the health sector, in the context of the future vision, and design of the
future model that fully supports the Ministry of Health in its new policy setting and
regulator role.
