“This is done through unified work procedures and legislation, and a unified electronic platform for referrals so that the follow-up of operations depends on real and transparent information about the capabilities of hospitals,” The ministry said.

The platform’s launch is in line with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 programme to facilitate better quality and access to health services.
