Mandatory Health Insurance Now Includes Home Healthcare Services in Saudi Arabia

Coverage of Home Healthcare Services

The Council of Health Insurance emphasized that a patient’s recovery continues after discharge, extending into the home setting.

The council confirmed that the mandatory health insurance policy includes home healthcare services to support ongoing treatment at home, such as urinary catheterization, intravenous medication administration after surgery, and post-operative wound care.

Electronic Application Process

The Ministry of Health has made it possible for beneficiaries to apply for these services electronically, ensuring access to safe, comprehensive medical care in the comfort of their homes and alongside their families.

This initiative improves patient comfort and contributes to satisfaction for both patients and their families.

Broader Range of Home Health Services

It is worthy to note that the Saudi Ministry of Health provides a wide range of healthcare services to various patient groups, including physiotherapy, home nutrition services, respiratory care, medication management, and other essential medical services.
