The Right To Health And The Privatization Of National Health Systems Of Medical Services And Revenue Development At Saudi Arabia 2022

Abstract

Background

Many countries have national health systems that cover all or part of the population. An aging population and advances in medical technology are making health insurance increasingly expensive, and governments are left seeking cost-effective options. The Saudi government is reorganizing its health care system and seeking to combine economic competition with a right to health in order to improve the health of its population. This article addresses privatization in terms of a right to health and asks whether governments can privatize their health care sy[1]stems while also guaranteeing the availability, accessibility, acceptability, and quality of health care services. It is suggested that a "right to health impact assessment" can be a useful tool applicable also to the privatization processes in other countries. Achieving good health requires immortal commitment, dedication, and, above all, sustainable financing mechanisms. The Saudi Arabian public health service has a long and storied history. The first public health department was created in 1925 by King Abdul Aziz . This department was responsible for providing essential healthcare services to the population, such as vaccination, sanitation, and disease prevention. Aim of the study: To assessment the right to health and the privatization of national health systems of Medical Services and Revenue Development at Saudi Arabia 2022. Method: This is a cross-sectional study targeting health care workers in Saudi Arabia. Two validated questionnaires were used, the first validated questionnaire focuses on assessment the knowledge about Privatization of Medical Services and Revenue Development . Results: shows the majority of participant's age 40-49 years were (49.0%), gender the majority of participant male were (54.0%), job classification the majority of participant health specialist were (32.0%), working experience majority of participant 5-9 years were (44.0%). Conclusion: The Saudi Arabia case illustrates tensions between privatization of health care services and the obligation of a government to guarantee a right to health. A "right to health impact assessment" implies attention to a range of issues. For the Saudi Arabia, an important aspect of a right to health impact assessment is assessing the tension between Saudi Arabia competition law and the governmental measures imposed on the insurance companies designed to guarantee the accessibility of health care services.
