Welcome message from the CEO

In the name of the God, the most compassionate, the most merciful
It is with great pride and sincere anticipation that I welcome you all to the Opening Ceremony of our Primary Health Care Conference. Today marks not only the launch of an important program, but the beginning of a stronger, more connected, and more people-centered era of healthcare. Primary health care stands at the heart of our national health transformation. It reflects our commitment to a system that is accessible, preventive, patient-centered, and driven by quality and innovation. Vision 2030 calls on us to strengthen preventive care, enhance the patient experience, and ensure that every individual receives timely, effective, and compassionate services within their community. This conference represents a vital step forward in realizing that vision. Today, we come together to reaffirm this foundation—and to elevate it. We are investing in integrated care models that ensure continuity and coordination at every step of the patient journey; digital health tools that extend care beyond traditional boundaries; preventive programs that shift our focus from treating illness to sustaining wellness; and highly trained, empowered healthcare teams who form the true backbone of this mission. Through these pillars, we seek to transform primary health care from a first point of contact into a lifelong partner in well-being. We gather here as leaders, professionals, innovators, and advocates, united by a shared mission: to strengthen the foundation of our healthcare system and enhance the quality of care delivered to every community. This conference provides a valuable platform to exchange knowledge, learn from successful models, and explore new approaches that will shape the future of primary care. I encourage each of you to engage deeply, collaborate openly, and contribute your insights generously. Together, we can develop strategies that expand access, elevate quality, and ensure that primary health care continues to evolve to meet the needs of our nation—today and for generations to come. Thank you, and I wish you all a productive and inspiring conference.

President's speech

The name of the God, the most compassionate, the most merciful

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the opening of the “Primary Health Care Ignite” conference — a valuable opportunity to share knowledge, exchange expertise, and explore the latest practices and directions in healthcare. Today, primary health care is no longer just a starting point in a patient’s journey; it has become the beating heart of any modern health system. In alignment with Saudi Vision 2030 and the National Transformation Program, primary care now plays a central role in achieving sustainability, promoting prevention, improving quality of life, and optimizing the use of healthcare resources. This conference is not only about showcasing the daily practices of family physicians, but also serves as a practical extension of our national strategic vision — aiming to build a connected, proactive, and patient-centered health system that puts people first. We strongly believe that continuous professional development is the cornerstone of quality care, and that staying current with clinical knowledge and skills is both a professional and ethical responsibility. That is why the scientific program of this conference was carefully designed to reflect the real needs of practitioners and to stay aligned with the evolving healthcare landscape — and more importantly, to act as a key enabler of health transformation by empowering frontline providers to deliver proactive, integrated care aligned with the new Model of Care and Vision 2030.
