Transforming Maternal And Child Health In Saudi Arabia: Workforce Development For Comprehensive Family Care

Abstract

Maternal and child health is a cornerstone of a well-functioning healthcare system, reflecting its ability to care for vulnerable populations and lay the foundation for long-term societal well-being. Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 emphasizes the importance of improving maternal and child health services as part of its broader healthcare transformation goals. This paper examines the vital role of workforce development in enhancing maternal and child health outcomes, identifying gaps in current practices, and proposing actionable strategies for progress. By investing in specialized training, fostering collaboration, and adopting innovative technologies, Saudi Arabia can build a healthcare workforce that delivers holistic, family-centered care for mothers and children.
