Abstract

The healthcare system in Saudi Arabia is facing several challenges, including an aging population, an increase in chronic diseases, and a shortage of healthcare professionals. To address these challenges, the government is taking proactive steps, including expanding healthcare infrastructure, promoting the use of technology, improving the quality of healthcare services, and emphasizing the importance of preventive healthcare. In addition, the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions can play a crucial role in transforming the healthcare system by improving efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing the quality of care. However, the adoption of AI solutions comes with challenges such as the need for high-quality data and the development of regulations and guidelines. The government needs to continue to invest in healthcare and AI solutions to build a more efficient and effective healthcare system that benefits all citizens.
