RIYADH: Saudi Vision 2030 outlines an ambitious roadmap centered on three core foundations — a vibrant society, a prosperous economy and an ambitious homeland — according to Dr. Hisham bin Saad Al-Jadhey, chief executive of the Saudi Food and Drug Authority.
He said that the Kingdom had rolled out several national initiatives to realize these goals, notably the Health Sector Transformation Program, designed to strengthen public health, improve healthcare accessibility and transition from treatment-focused to prevention-oriented care.
Al-Jadhey made the remarks while participating in the 72nd session of the WHO Regional Committee for the Eastern Mediterranean, taking place in Egypt from Oct. 15-17.
During his address, he said that Saudi Arabia, through its Food and Drug Authority, had launched multiple strategic initiatives to advance public health. These included cutting sugar and salt levels in food products to boost nutritional quality, eliminating hydrogenated fats and ensuring the availability of specialized medications for treating serious illnesses.
