In a major milestone for Jeddah, the Red Sea’s darling is celebrating!
The city just snagged the Healthy City certificate from the World Health Organization (WHO), making it the first major city in the Middle East to do so. Talk about a proud moment! But this achievement didn’t just happen out of the blue. It’s the result of hard work between different government folks, private sectors, and community groups, all pulling in the same direction with some seriously smart leadership guiding the way.

The WHO’s “Healthy City” certificate is a testament to Jeddah’s adherence to global standards in urban health and well-being. It signifies the city’s dedication to creating a conducive environment that meets the diverse needs of its inhabitants while promoting their overall health and vitality. Jeddah’s journey towards this remarkable feat reflects its unwavering commitment to excellence and continuous improvement in public health infrastructure and services.
A thriving city
Now, let’s talk standards. The WHO doesn’t just hand out these certificates to anyone. Nope, Jeddah had to meet some pretty strict criteria to earn this badge of honor. We’re talking about building a city that’s not just a place to live but a place to thrive – where folks can live their best lives and stay in tip-top shape. And you know what? Jeddah nailed it!
So, shoutout to everyone who played a part in making this happen. Whether a city official, a business owner, or just someone who cares about making Jeddah a better place, they all deserve a round of applause.
Here’s to many more healthy, happy days ahead in the Red Sea’s favorite city!
