A critical component of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 reform agenda is its alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3, which is dedicated to the promotion of health and well-being for all. This narrative review offers a mid-term assessment of Saudi Arabia's progress in attaining these objectives, with a particular emphasis on the public health initiatives and comprehensive healthcare reforms that have been implemented as part of this vision. The Kingdom has accomplished substantial reductions in maternal and neonatal mortality rates, with skilled birth attendance reaching nearly universal levels. Saudi Arabia is a regional leader in the field of infectious diseases, having achieved the 95-95-95 HIV targets and significantly reduced the incidences of tuberculosis and malaria. Additionally, the rates of premature mortality from conditions such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases have decreased as a result of efforts to combat non-communicable diseases. Mental health services have been substantially expanded, which has resulted in one of the lowest suicide rates reported worldwide. Substantial investments have collectively improved the universality and quality of healthcare services in health infrastructure, such as the expansion of primary healthcare centers and the integration of digital health solutions, which have supported these health achievements. Saudi Arabia continues to confront persistent obstacles, including the management of the increase in non-communicable diseases, the mitigation of environmental health risks, and the reconciliation of healthcare access disparities, despite these accomplishments. The review recommends that the social determinants of health be addressed through a sustained commitment to cross-sectoral collaboration, enhanced data collection and utilization for health policy-making, and further integration of technology in healthcare delivery. This review not only emphasizes the Kingdom's successes but also the intricate challenges it has encountered, providing valuable insights into the strategic planning required to maintain health gains and achieve SDG 3 by 2030. Saudi Arabia's innovative approach and robust policy implementation serve as a model for the integration of health priorities into national development frameworks, thereby improving health outcomes and contributing to sustainable development.
