Strengthening the Healthcare System in Saudi Arabia

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to review the relevant literature on the recent trends in web application vulnerabilities in the healthcare system of Saudi Arabia. An academic database was searched to find relevant literature so as to analyse the trends peculiar to healthcare in Saudi Arabia, with an emphasis on strengthening the healthcare system. Approximately four hundred scholarly works were initially selected and then reduced to a smaller number which was then explored in detail. The review found that Saudi Arabia faces significant challenges to its healthcare system in the coming years. There is a need for the healthcare system to adapt to the evolving healthcare needs of the people. This will only be possible through improvements in healthcare infrastructure, sufficient training of staff as well improving accessibility to healthcare services outside of urban centres. There is also a need to spread awareness through public health campaigns which may ease the burden on the country's healthcare system.
