On 2 Sep, 2022 Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Health (MoH) announced that the Sehhaty app has become the national platform for the healthcare needs of individuals. All government bodies in the health sector will be integrated with Sehhaty to provide health services through the app, according to the statement.

The agreement between the MoH and DGA aimed at several matters, such as merging the health sector apps and platforms and improving the beneficiary’s experience in the health sector as well as facilitating and accelerating the deal with the government bodies. Furthermore, it intends to provide consultation services with regard to digital government and achieve efficiency of digital spending for government services. The agreement will have a positive impact on the beneficiaries, as it would raise the satisfaction rate, increase the level of digital maturing, and unify data sources, in addition to achieving a better level of services. https://www.gccbusinessnews.com/saudi-arabia-picks-sehhaty-app-as-national-e-platform-for-healthcare-services/
