Health Holding Company launches the "Check for Your Health" drive-through health check-up initiative in Riyadh
In a groundbreaking move aimed at transforming the way preventative healthcare is delivered, Health Holding Company launched the "Check Your Health" initiative across all health clusters in Riyadh. This pioneering initiative, the first of its kind in Saudi Arabia, allows beneficiaries to undergo routine medical checkups from the comfort of their vehicles, facilitating access to healthcare services and saving time and effort.
This strategic initiative aligns with the objectives of the Health Sector Transformation Program, a key pillar of the Kingdom's Vision 2030, which aims to build a vibrant society where individuals enjoy a healthy and sustainable quality of life. Through these steps, the healthcare system seeks to shift its focus from treatment to promoting a culture of prevention, thereby contributing to increasing life expectancy and reducing the incidence of chronic diseases.
The "Check Your Health" initiative operates as the first innovative national network for periodic health screenings, designed to facilitate access to a comprehensive package of early detection services. The initiative covers a number of vital health indicators through rigorous preventative screening pathways, including tests for chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and lipid disorders. It also extends to specialized screenings such as osteoporosis, early detection of colon and breast cancer, as well as advanced pathways focusing on genomics, lifestyle, and proteomics.
From a procedural standpoint, the initiative has been digitally integrated to ensure a seamless user experience, allowing appointments at "Ta'akkad for Your Health" centers to be booked directly through the "Sehhaty" app. This technological integration aims to reduce waiting times and encourage all segments of society to undergo regular checkups effortlessly, thus enhancing the chances of early disease detection before they worsen.
This initiative is of paramount importance on both the health and economic levels. Promoting preventative medicine significantly reduces the financial burden of treating advanced cases of chronic diseases and improves the overall efficiency of the healthcare system. The drive-through screening service is an innovative solution that removes the psychological and logistical barriers that might prevent some people from visiting traditional hospitals for routine checkups.
It is worth noting that the Health Holding Company is the national entity responsible for providing comprehensive and integrated healthcare in the Kingdom, managing 20 health clusters across various regions. The company implements the modern Saudi healthcare model, which places the individual at the center of its focus, emphasizing preventative care and facilitating access to services, thus fulfilling the aspirations of the wise leadership to provide world-class healthcare for citizens and residents.
