World-Health-Survey-Saudi-Arabia FOREWORD Saudi Arabia’s commitment to the global health security agenda and Sustainable Developmental Goals is in-line with the strategic orientation of the KSA Vision 2030. The national focus on improving the quality of life and wellbeing of the population supports the need for analysis of mega-data in order to learn from the past, understand the current situation, and plan for the future. Conducting the second round of the World Health Survey-2019 in Saudi Arabia should help position the country among the regional and global participants, and in turn allow for better benchmarking and health system evaluation. The World Health Survey KSA-2019 has generated data that covers different aspects of health system sustainability. Thus, inter- and multi- disciplinary research activities should be utilized to address different health concerns and establish informed approaches to various health-related challenges. The National Transformation Program and Vision 2030 focus on preventive health and patient-centered healthcare. Thus, data generated from the World Health Survey serves as an asset for mapping and modeling population health needs and understanding the dynamic of social determinants of health. Therefore, establishing a healthcare reform execution plan that meets the population’s expectations is pivotal to positively influencing overall wellbeing and quality of life. In parallel, public health experts could also utilize the generated data to evaluate current programs to enable optimal resource allocation. The currently going on Model of Care Initiative will greatly benefit from in-depth analysis of the survey data to ensure health programs covering the whole community , with special focus on child,women,and elderly population. This report highlights the findings of the 2019 World Health Survey-Saudi Arabia which governmental officials, policymakers and researchers can utilize for holistic management to address public health and healthcare system needs. Meanwhile, where the findings are promising, efforts must be exercised to maintain the country’s profile and further improve the healthcare system. Tawfiq F. Alrabeah Minister of Health ACKNOWLEDGEMENT As Director of Vision Realization Office, and Deputy for Planning and Transformation principal I have the honor to convey my great thanks to the World Health Survey- Saudi Arabia (WHS-KSA) Implementation Taskforce, and I am indebted to the experienced, knowledgeable, and committed teams that helped in developing such a groundbreaking report.

    INVESTIGATING RIYADH’S PUBLIC HEALTH INSPECTORS' ABILITY TO CONDUCT RISK-BASED FOOD INSPECTION, AND THEIR PROFESSIONAL NEEDS A Mixed-Methods Research Study Sultan Abdullah Alsaleh BPubHlth-HP, MPH Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Public Health and Social Work Faculty of Health Queensland University of Technology 2021 ﷲ ا ا In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Page | ii Keywords Environmental Health Officer (EHO), food safety, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), foodborne illness (FBI), Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP), Knowledge-to- action framework (KTA), Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs, Public Health Inspector (PHI), risk-based food inspection, Saudi Arabia, traditional food inspection. Page | iii Abstract Background Every year about 600 million –—almost 1 in 10 people in the world –—fall ill after eating unsafe food, and more than 400,000 people die. Public Health Inspectors (PHIs) perform important roles and have numerous responsibilities in efficiently protecting public health from foodborne illnesses (FBIs). Some of these roles and responsibilities include undertaking food safety assessments, enforcing local food safety legislation, and providing support to food establishments (i.e., restaurants) regarding the minimization of food safety risks. The processes of qualifying and training PHIs, and ensuring timely addressing of their professional needs are essential for the successful and safe development of the food industry in any country. At the same time, there is a significant knowledge gap in the food safety area in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, including Saudi Arabia, which is related to the lack of a detailed understanding of the major issues preventing, or interfering with, the implementation and improvement of a food safety inspection approach.

  • Saudi Arabia, the Soviet Union, and Modern Islam
    SAUDI ARABIA, THE SOVIET UNION, AND MODERN ISLAM Sean Foley* Abstract: This paper examines Saudi-Soviet diplomacy in the interwar period, which has received little scholarly coverage but has had an important impact on the Middle East and the Muslim World. In the 1920s and the 1930s, Saudi Arabia and the Soviet Union cooperated closely in a number of areas, and Western governments recognised that an alliance would have transformed politics in the Middle East. The failure of the diplomatic relationship to last was a missed opportunity for both states and for the wider Muslim world. Not only did it limit Soviet diplomacy in the Arab World and cement the US-Saudi alliance, but it also cut off Soviet Muslims from Arabia. After the Soviet Union collapsed, the legacy Saudi-Soviet relations in the interwar period remained important. Al-Qaeda used Riyadh’s historic ties with Washington to justify its violence, while millions of Muslims in the former Soviet Union re-embraced their faith and forged closer ties with Saudi Arabia than ever before. Introduction On 29 May 1932 a battalion of Soviet cavalry and one of Soviet infantry stood at attention for an unusual visitor to Moscow’s Belorussian-Baltic railway station: Prince Faysal of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Wearing a gold-braided thob, gallabia, and burnoose but with Western shoes, the twenty-six-year-old prince was only the second such personage to visit the Soviet capital since the fall of the Czar in 1917.1 Senior Soviet officials, including first deputy foreign minister Nikolai Krestinsky, met him and his delegation at the train station and joined the Soviet officials who had met the Saudi Prince’s train when it crossed the Polish-Soviet border.2 As the prince walked along an exquisite carpet past saluting soldiers, large crowds gathered to see him and bands alternated playing the Hijaz’s national anthem and the Internationale.

  • Saudi Arabia
    Transparency International Anti-Corruption Helpdesk Answer An overview of corruption and anti -corruption in Saudi Arabia Author(s): Kaunain Rahman, [email protected] Reviewer(s): Marwa Fatafta and Matthew Jenkins, Transparency International Date: 23 January 2020 The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy, commonly viewed by observers as an authoritarian state (IBP 2017). With severely limited civic space and freedom of expression, the country has witnessed escalating suppression of dissidents and severe human rights abuses (CIVICUS 2018; Freedom House 2019; Human Rights Watch 2019a). Although there have been high-profile measures to curb graft in recent years, many analysts view the anti-corruption drive headed by the crown prince as motivated primarily by a desire to consolidate political power (Kirkpatrick 2019). While the effective implementation of anti-corruption efforts is largely at the discretion of the country’s rulers, corruption is viewed by observers as a significant issue in the country (Freedom House 2019; GAN Integrity 2019). Notably, almost total opacity in public accounting prevents ordinary Saudis from understanding how much of the state income generated by massive oil revenues ends up as private wealth for the royal family and its clients (Freedom House 2019; Hertog 2019). © 2020 Transparency International.

  • Extremism and Terrorism
    Yemen: Extremism and Terrorism On September 11, 2021, militants fired a ballistic missile and explosive-laden drones toward the Red Sea port city of Mocha in Yemen, destroying several warehouses of humanitarian aid. No casualties were reported. Officials from the internationally recognized government blamed the Houthis, who did not immediately claim responsibility for the attack. The strikes came as the Houthis continued their assault on the northern Yemeni city of Marib, a stronghold of the internationally recognized government. Between September 2 and September 4, at least 22 pro-government forces were killed and 50 were wounded in fighting with the Houthis. At least 48 Houthi fighters were also killed during that period. (Sources: Associated Press , Jordan Times) On September 1, 2021, Saudi forces intercepted and destroyed three Houthi drones over Yemen, which the Saudis said were targeting civilians. On August 29, Houthi forces launched armed drones and ballistic missiles toward the al-Anad military base in southern Yemen, killing at least 30 soldiers and wounding 60. At the same time, the Houthis continued to engage government-backed forces around Marib and the surrounding areas of Al-Mashjah, Al-Kasarah, Jabal Murad, and Rahabah. On August 30, at least 11 government-aligned soldiers were killed and several were reportedly wounded. Iranian media claimed dozens of Arab coalition fighters were killed in the fighting. Yemen’s Armed Forces Guidance Department estimated at least 800 Houthi fighters were killed during 72 hours of fighting. Military officials claimed Iran sent military experts and fighters from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Iraq, and Lebanon to provide reinforcements to the Houthis.

  • Public Health Risks Related to Communicable Diseases During the Hajj 2019, Saudi Arabia, 9–14 August 2019 2 July 2019
    RAPID RISK ASSESSMENT Public health risks related to communicable diseases during the hajj 2019, Saudi Arabia, 9–14 August 2019 2 July 2019 Main conclusions and options for response In 2019, the hajj will take place between 9 and 14 August. The risk for EU/EEA citizens to become infected with communicable diseases during the 2019 hajj is considered low, thanks to the vaccination requirements for travelling to Makkah (Mecca) and the Saudi Arabian preparedness plans that address the management of health hazards during and after hajj. As with other mass gathering events, the risk of communicable disease outbreaks is greatest for food- and waterborne diseases and respiratory diseases. Outbreaks of MERS-CoV continue to be reported from the Arabian Peninsula, specifically from Saudi Arabia, which implies that there is a risk of importation of cases to Europe after the hajj. The risk of vaccine-preventable and vector-borne diseases is considered low if preventive measures are applied. Advice for those making the hajj Prior to travelling It is important that travellers seek advice from healthcare providers on the health requirements and recommendations for Saudi Arabia. Travellers should be advised to follow recommendations issued by the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Health and WHO. Advice issued by ECDC should also be taken into account. According to the Saudi authorities, pilgrims are required to provide proof of vaccination with the conjugated meningococcal ACW135Y vaccine administered no less than ten days prior to arrival in Saudi Arabia in order to obtain an entry visa. Travellers making the hajj should be up to date with immunisations routinely administered in their EU country of residence, including vaccinations for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) and diphtheria-tetanus-polio (see ECDC vaccine schedule site).

  • The Federal Government's Second Report on the Global Status Of
    The Federal Government’s Second Report on the Global Status of Freedom of Religion Reporting period 2018 – 2019 The wooden structure 7.5 metres high known as the “Ring for Peace” stands in the Luitpoldpark in Lindau on Lake Constance. It was erected to commemorate the 10th World Assembly of the NGO Religions for Peace in August 2019. Gisbert Baarmann, the sculptor who created the artwork, integrated 36 different kinds of wood from all over the world into it. The meeting in the Allgäu region in southern Germany brought together some 900 representatives of religious faiths from around 100 countries. © picture alliance / dpa / Carolin Gißibl 2 Federal Government Commissioner for Global Freedom of Religion and Member of the German Parliament, Markus Grübel. © RFB Dear readers, When an argument developed between a Christian agricultural worker and her co-workers in June 2009, little did she know that everything would change for her from that day. What happened next in that province in South Asia was to determine her life from that moment on and have massive repercussions worldwide. On the day in question, her fellow workers told her she was “un- clean” because of her faith. An argument ensued, in the course of which she was accused of blasphemy. It was claimed that she had insulted the Prophet Muhammad. In the days that followed, she was threatened by a mob and then arrested by the police and charged with blasphemy. In 2010, she was sentenced to death. When, years later, the sentence was overturned, protests erupted. Protesters called for the sentence to be upheld and the worker put to death.
