Abstract

Since the effects of the Corona pandemic imposed numerous challenges on health systems and the extent of their preparedness to face the pandemic, the current study aims to evaluate the capabilities of the health care system in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in facing the Coronavirus (COVID-19) from the perspective of health sector workers inside the Najran region. This will be accomplished by discussing the health system's awareness in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, particularly in the Najran region, with regard to the accessibility of medical professionals, tools, and personal safety measures.. The study's sample comprised seventy-one health workers in the Najran region. In order to meet the study's objectives, the researcher created an electronic questionnaire that evaluates the health care system's capacity to combat the COVID-19 virus from the perspective of health sector workers in the Najran region. The findings showed that 83.43% of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's health care system was capable of defending against the COVID-19 virus. Furthermore, the study sample's average responses on the capabilities of the Kingdom's healthcare system were between 80 and 92%. The researcher provides an explanation of this as follows: The Saudi government announced Saudi Vision 2030 with the goal of improving the quality of services and raising the standard of health in the Kingdom. This has been effectively implemented. The report made a number of suggestions, the most significant of which being that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia should examine and adopt preventive plans, procedures, and measures.
