Saudi Ministry of Health Highlights Public Health Progress in the Kingdom on World Health Day


The Ministry of Health is marking World Health Day, observed annually on April 7, by continuing to strengthen preventive actions and promote healthy lifestyles.


This effort aligns with an integrated approach that supports the objectives of the Health Sector Transformation Program under Vision 2030, aiming to enhance quality of life and advance preventive care through initiatives and programs that drive continuous improvement in public health indicators.


Life expectancy in the Kingdom reached 79.9 years in 2025, up from 74 years in 2016, thanks to the efforts of the Health in All Policies Committee, which has strengthened cross-sector collaboration and integrated health considerations into public policymaking.
