- W1539867046 abstract "Abstract•In early 2000 the World Health Organization's global evaluation rated Saudi Arabia in the 26th position and the US in the 37th.oFor a youthful kingdom this surprising position may unjustified and perhaps short lived.oSignificant overall population health shifts are in rapid motion in Saudi.oThe new kingdom's life style coupled with a rising level of comfort and population age as well as disdain toward exercise is sure to exacerbate the present national health care demands.oA 20% increase in population by 2016 alone is certain to tax the already challenged heath care system.•The apparent over burdened health care system of Saudi Arabia appears quite similar to the US at a high level but as a result of distinctly different factors.oHealthcare in the kingdom is a national entitlement not a procured protection.oSaudi Arabia's cutting edge facilities are equipped with state of the art equipment while manned with well trained professionals acquired by way of aggressive recruitment and education techniques.•The apparent success of the Saudi program is attributed to the primary advantage when comparing nations - the royal checkbook.oBecause of the seemingly endless royal cash flow little desire or effort is committed toward efficiency and/or self sufficiency.oWhat appears to be the Arabic health system's guardian gift horse may also root its lame inefficiencies.•Recognition of these negligent shortcomings has caused Saudi government officials to initiate privatization of the national health care system.oHowever, historic behaviors and tribal mannerisms of the Arabic population, derived from its nomadic days, allow little room for change.oPaternalistic commitments of the tribal communities often satisfy the tribe while unjustly burdening the employing health care provider.oApparent inefficiencies result, but are often times clouded in the myriad of manipulated outcomes data and skewed budget reporting.oQuality of life is frequently sacrificed in the false attempt to enhance outcomes data.•DRG classification measures should be implemented and accurately reported in order to best assess current state status of the system.•Long term strategic plans are in order to best evaluate measure and implement change in the attempt to redirect a run away health care system.•Privatization and the accompanying competition will drive reform gradually, but at what cost to the existing system and the citizens that rely on its care.•Active monitoring and corrective legislation is required to stimulate the process.•Oil revenue has served to create a strong foundation for a globally recognized healthcare system in a relatively young nation but it will take more than money to continue its survival as well as improve its delivery and/or global ranking." @default.
