Mane, Minister of Health said the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has witnessed comprehensive development in all sectors notably in the health domain. "It is the duty of the Health Ministry, represented by the administration of statistics, to shoulder its responsibility as regards the registration of the health development and provide statements, information, timetables and statistics on the health services being extended by the Ministry to the citizens and residents. These statistics can become a historical reference for the new generations and constitute a guide for those who are concerned with the future plans. If we compare the statistics in the Health Statistical Year Book, issued by the Health Ministry, with the statistics of the consecutive years, we can get acquainted with the big strides made in the health field. There are now huge human and material capabilities and sophisticated technology in the field of preventive and clinical medicine. The book sheds light on the health materials and points out to the continuous increase in the number of medical and technical commissions as well as the number of hospitals, and health centers so as to match the increasing number of population. The health ministry is keen on making health services reach the international standards. May Almighty Allah help us to succeed in performing our mission," Dr Al-Mane concluded.
