RIYADH: The Ministry of Health (MoH) will set up a National Center to combat heart diseases in the Kingdom. Hamad Al-Duweila, deputy minister of health, has said.
The Saudi Health Council will lend maximum support for the smooth functioning of this new organization, he said.
The minister’s announcement came during the inauguration of the 27th Congress of the Saudi Heart Association here on Saturday.
Al-Duweila said the MoH has been carrying out all its activities under the slogan “Citizens’ Health First,” covering all sectors of health and providing the best of services to citizens.
Quoting statistics from the World Health Organization (WHO), Al-Duweila said that some 17.5 million or 31 percent of deaths in the world are due to heart diseases.
About Saudi Arabia, he said 46 percent of the deaths recorded in the Kingdom are due to cardiac problems. He said people in the Kingdom should learn to adapt to healthy lifestyles to prevent non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension and heart and renal problems.
Regular exercises and abstention from smoking are some of the good habits people should develop, he said.
Schools play an important role in educating children about various health issues, Al-Duweila said. The MoH will build better partnership with the schools through the Ministry of Education in ensuring that the generation next is health conscious, he said.
“We are focusing on a program for early detection of the disease, which would reduce the number of fatalities in the Kingdom,” he said, adding that the ministry has provided all facilities and services to heart patients in their own hometowns.
Specialized treatment centers are being opened in peripheral areas such as Arrar, Jazan and Najran with support centers in Makkah, Madinah and also in the Eastern Province.
