In a significant step reflecting the rapid development of the healthcare sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Health Holding Company launched the "Check Your Health" initiative, the first of its kind in the Kingdom, which allows beneficiaries to undergo periodic and comprehensive medical checkups from the comfort of their vehicles. This service has been activated in all health clusters in Riyadh, offering an innovative model that combines accuracy, speed, and reliability.
A paradigm shift in the concept of healthcare
This initiative directly reflects the objectives of the "Health Sector Transformation Program," a pillar of the Kingdom's Vision 2030, which aims to restructure the health sector into a comprehensive, efficient, and integrated healthcare system. The Health Holding Company plays a pivotal role in this transformation, providing healthcare services through health clusters and focusing its efforts on promoting public health and prevention before treatment becomes necessary.
The drive-thru screening service is a transformation in the way the service is delivered, as it aims to break down the psychological and time barriers that may prevent individuals from undergoing periodic check-ups, thus facilitating access to health services and improving the quality of life.
Examination pathways and their medical importance
The "Check Your Health" initiative goes beyond simple routine checkups; it includes an innovative national network for periodic health screenings covering vital health indicators. These screenings are of paramount importance given the global and local prevalence of chronic (non-communicable) diseases, as early detection helps increase recovery rates and reduce serious complications.
Preventive screening pathways include a wide range of options, such as:
- Chronic diseases: Diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and lipid disorders.
- Tumors and early detection: Screening for colon cancer and breast cancer.
- Bone health: Osteoporosis screening.
- Advanced tests: These include proteomics, genomics, and lifestyle analysis.
Strengthening prevention and building a vibrant community
Through these initiatives, the healthcare system aims to build a "vibrant society" whose members enjoy sustainable health. The shift from a traditional curative model to a proactive, preventative one is a cornerstone of the healthcare holding company's strategy. This initiative is expected to contribute to the creation of an accurate health database for the community, which will aid in future healthcare planning and more effective combating of genetic and chronic diseases.
Those wishing to benefit from this quality service can easily book their appointments through the “Sehhaty” application, choosing “Taakkad for Your Health” centers, or visiting the initiative’s dedicated website (https://taakkad.health.sa) to view all the details.
It is worth mentioning that the Health Holding Company currently manages 20 health clusters in various regions of the Kingdom, and is working to implement the modern Saudi healthcare model that puts the human being at the center of attention, harnessing technology and innovation to facilitate the beneficiary’s therapeutic and preventive journey.
