The Saudi Ministry of Health’s annual Health Sector Transformation Program report for 2023 showcases remarkable progress towards Vision 2030 goals, highlighting the collaborative efforts to improve public health.

A key achievement in the report is the increase in average life expectancy in Saudi Arabia, now at 77.6 years. This positive change is due to several health initiatives, such as promoting a walking culture, reducing salt in foods, disclosing calorie information, and eliminating trans fats. Efforts to improve healthcare services and prevent health risks have also played a significant role.
