Goodbye Waiting Lists: Saudi Health Launches Unified Medical Referral System

Saudi Arabia's Deputy Minister of Health Abdulaziz Al-Rumaih launched the unified platform for the Medical Referral Center on Sunday. The platform is a comprehensive national service that aims to manage treatment requests between regions within and outside the country efficiently, and with real-time monitoring of bed capacities in all government and private healthcare facilities.

The new platform is distinguished by being a unified electronic referral system that facilitates the transfer of patients between various healthcare facilities. It helps making quick and effective decisions regarding case distribution and improves patient experience by reducing waiting times and improving the quality of services provided.
