Since the outbreak of the coronavirus in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 2020, National Health Emergency Center aligned itself to the Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and has played a key role to link the different health sectors in the country with Ministry of Health, through the use of state-of-the-art infrastructure, innovative digital technologies, location intelligence, data analysis, and real time data. Thereby, General Directorate of Emergency, Disasters and Medical Transportation - Deputyship of Curative Services, launched the National Health Emergency Operation Center, which integrates digital technologies to deliver substantial improvements to emergency healthcare management. Through real-time maps, apps, and dashboards, the innovative integration of different technologies has revolutionized the Center’s operations by providing location intelligence and evidence-based analysis that shapes sound policy and saves lives. Disaster health management has become a key goal for every nation in order to reduce the impact of disasters on human health and wellbeing. It is an important aspect of any resilient healthcare system.
