CONFERENCE OF
HEALTH TRANSFORMATION
IN SAUDI ARABIA
REDEFINING PUBLIC AND COMMUNITY HEALTH
The Public Health Department in the Eastern Health Cluster is organizing the Health Transformation in Saudi Arabia: Redefining Public and Community Health to advance the transformation of public health in Saudi Arabia. The event aims to align with Saudi Vision 2030 and promote a proactive, prevention-based approach to health and well-being. It will bring together leading experts, policymakers, and practitioners to explore innovative strategies in public health, including sustainable financing, digital transformation, data and artificial intelligence, and integrated care models.
The conference will focus on strengthening national capabilities in disease prevention, health promotion, surveillance, and community engagement, while emphasizing value-based care and population health management. It will also foster collaboration, share best practices, and showcase innovative solutions that enhance public health outcomes, improve quality of life, and support a resilient and sustainable healthcare system in Saudi Arabia.
In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you all to the Public and Community Health Conference 2026. This gathering reflects our shared commitment to advancing health, strengthening communities, and contributing to a healthier and more sustainable future.
At the Eastern Health Cluster, we are committed to transforming healthcare in a way that places people and communities at the center of everything we do. Our role extends beyond providing healthcare services; it is about understanding the health needs of our population, anticipating challenges, promoting prevention, and creating opportunities for individuals and communities to live healthier lives.
Also we believe that meaningful healthcare transformation begins with a simple principle: a healthier population is the foundation of a stronger society. Every preventive intervention, every informed decision, and every empowered individual contributes to this vision.
This direction is closely aligned with the ambitions of Saudi Vision 2030 and the Health Transformation Program, where improving population health and enhancing quality of life are fundamental priorities. Achieving this transformation requires collaboration across healthcare sectors, strong partnerships with our communities, and the effective use of data, innovation, and technology.
This conference provides an important opportunity to bring these efforts together—to share knowledge, exchange experiences, highlight successful practices, and explore new approaches that can strengthen public and community health.
I extend my sincere appreciation to the speakers, participants, partners, and the scientific and organizing committees for their valuable contributions and dedicated efforts in making this conference possible.
I encourage everyone to engage, collaborate, and share ideas that can extend beyond this conference and translate into meaningful improvements in the health of our communities.
I wish you all a productive, inspiring, and impactful conference.
Welcome to the Public and Community Health Conference 2026.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, who has made human health a goal and well-being a responsibility. Peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and companions.
It is my pleasure and honor, on my own and on behalf of the Scientific and Organizing Committee of the Public and Community Health Conference 2026, to welcome you and express our delight at the gathering of this distinguished group of specialists and those interested in public and community health.
Our meeting at this conference transcends being merely a scientific gathering; it embodies our belief that health begins before illness, that prevention is a shared culture and responsibility, and that the health of society is built through the collective efforts of all.
This conference comes amidst the ambitious transformation of the healthcare system in the Kingdom, and in line with the objectives of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, towards a healthier, more aware society and a higher quality of life. Therefore, through this conference, we seek to exchange experiences, discuss challenges, review successful practices, and leverage data, technology, and innovation to contribute to translating knowledge into tangible impact.
We believe that the success of any conference is not measured solely by the papers and sessions presented, but rather by the ideas it generates that transform into initiatives, the knowledge that leads to decisions, and the partnerships that make a real difference in people’s lives.
On this occasion, I extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to the leadership of the Eastern Health Cluster, all partners, supporters, speakers, participants, members of the scientific and organizing committees, and all working teams for their efforts in organizing this event.
In conclusion, We hope that this conference will be the beginning of new ideas, stronger partnerships, and a lasting impact, and that we will all leave with a greater determination to continue working towards a healthier and more prosperous society.
Let our message be one: Human health is a responsibility, community health is a trust, and together we build the future of health.
Welcome to the Public and Community Health Conference 2026. We ask God to crown our efforts with success and to make this conference a source of beneficial knowledge, impactful action, and a lasting legacy.
