Hey Ministry of Health Will adopt a new method for Finance To finance the difference Family health to Basic health units, UPS. The Ministry is scheduled to present the initiative on Thursday morning.
The aim of the change is to give priority to expanding population coverage through the work of more professionals, as well as increasing the hours and quality of health services. With the new financing model, teams can receive an amount ranging from 24,000 to 30,000 riyals in 2024, reaching 34,000 riyals next year. The current average is 21,000 riyals.
The value varies according to the number of people accompanying each family health group, which can reach 3,000 people. In addition, there are resources provided to encourage team members.
The new model also aims to value home visits, ensuring care and attention to the population monitored in primary care services.
In the previous form of funding, teams were paid based on the number of people approved in primary care, which did not mean that these people were actually monitored by them. The Ministry estimates that as a result, professionals have become overworked and face difficulties in reaching and serving the population.
The measure is part of measures to rebuild the Family Health Strategy, which has just completed 30 years.
