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.
