MOH Statistics and Indicators

 

The first step is the implementation of a population-based survey to track risk factors leading to chronic diseases in the Kingdom. This survey was designed to measure all information on the social and economic factors as well as the risk factors leading to injuries and illnesses in the society. Amid the targets of the survey was to follow up the outpatients in hospitals and patients' visits to health facilities.

 

To keep it secret, all interviews were carried out separately with the family members. Participants were chosen via their randomly-selected housing numbers. Through the implementation of this survey, we managed to get more information about the health status, and risk factors leading to chronic diseases, as well as the ability of health facilities to perform their duties. Also, we identified the social and economic factors that affect the health of the individual and society.

The Survey includes the following:
