• Reduce NCD prevalence: The vision aims to significantly decrease NCD-related deaths and improve population health [1].* Demographic shifts: A rapidly growing population, with a significant portion being expatriates, puts pressure on healthcare resources [2].* Lifestyle factors: Dietary habits and physical inactivity contribute to NCDs [1].

Here's a comparison of Saudi Arabia's health situation between 2010 and 2023 with the goals of the Saudi Health Vision 2030:
Challenges:

• Non-communicable diseases (NCDs): NCDs like heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and chronic respiratory illness remain the leading cause of death, despite some progress in prevention and control [1].
