Health care is always a top of the topics that any politician speaks about in their campaigns, election or plans for the future. Many discussions takes place about health care delivery whether it should be free provided by the government or paid by the individual through insurance “market good”.
This is a very hard question to answer and the current transformation within the Saudi health care system has been focusing on such a problem from the beginning. Currently we have a population of over 30 million people spending 7% of our GDP which equates to around $20 billion, yet the access and quality of health care is still at the level of a third world country. The government is trying to use different payment models to reduce waste and improve quality without having the public paying taxes or cost sharing their medical bills. The only conclusion so far in Saudi is to find a new methodology to pay for the health care service. But what should we expect from health care or what do our patients expect from us as health care workers?
To answer this question I interviewed three of my healthy friends and three patients that I know, they listed almost the same exact elements that they see would present a quality health care system. The very first element they all asked for is access to health care in different levels without the need to ask for help or use connections to gain access, which is currently a common occurrence. This would mean fair access to everyone regardless of their social status or wealth. The second element is quality and safety of the services provided to them. This was explained in different ways but ultimately all wanted quality providers, institutions, buildings and service. The third element was an on time service or timely mannered service that assured you receive the right action or encounter at the right time. To them it is very important to have quality service that is accessed in a timely mannered. I would add from tribble aim cost effective to the list above, as health care cost is very important to be controlled and managed. We don’t want to have a health system that cripples a countries economy or on the other hand so underfunded that it collapses.
