“…The implementation of these modifications necessitates a specialized hospital management response, as the effective management of changes in the healthcare sector is fundamental to professional expertise. Change management is widely recognized as a crucial factor in the field of health care management (Hamidi, Regmi, & van Teijlingen, 2023). at this study, we want to evaluate the effects of incorporating health care insurance into hospital management.…”

The Saudi healthcare scene has seen significant changes, with an increased emphasis on improving the quality and availability of medical treatments. Given the critical role that hospitals play in the delivery of healthcare services, it is critical to understand the relationship between management strategies and operational efficiency. It is difficult to transform a weak existing program into a large project of national health care insurance in a country that lacks a stable and implanted national health care insurance program, such as KSA. This inclusion, while highly helpful for human health care, poses a significant challenge for health care management and may have an impact on Management Efficiency, which is heavily influenced by variables such as Management Staff Satisfaction. Plan for Facility Availability, Management Cost Reduction, and Patient Safety Improvement After healthcare insurance reforms, healthcare professionals were required to have compensatory shifts, which healthcare administrators were required to supply. Using well-established theories of organizational management and healthcare economics, this study will enhance hospital management practices in terms of operational efficiency results. Furthermore, the study looks into the extent to which the availability of health insurance functions as a moderator in this relationship. The availability of health care insurance influences patients' ability to obtain medical services and has the potential to influence the efficacy of hospital management practices. Quantitative research was employed to achieve these objectives. Quantitative data is gathered through surveys and historical hospital performance metrics derived from interviews and focus group conversations with key players in Saudi Arabia's healthcare system.

Background Awareness of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is limited in Muslim countries, even among high-risk populations. Several factors contribute to the misunderstandings and stigma surrounding HIV, including socio-cultural and religious aspects. This study explored people's experiences and perceptions of HIV awareness campaigns in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. Methods We conducted a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with participants from the GCC region. The data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis methods. Results Twenty-seven participants took p a rt in this study. The data revealed five main themes: The Necessity of HIV/AIDS Awareness, The Contrast Between Traditional and Modern Awareness , Exploring the Balance: Moral vs. Health Messages, HIV/AIDS Awareness in GCC countries, and Key Providers of HIV/AIDS Awareness. All participants emphasised the need to raise awareness about HIV in the GCC, believing that recent societal changes and increased openness justify the need for sexual health education. They stressed the importance of delivering clear and assertive health education to raise awareness while minimising the reliance on fear-based messaging. However, some participants expressed concerns about promoting condom use and HIV treatment, fearing it might encourage extramarital sex. Additionally, the lack of a religious component in the awareness messages raised concerns among some participants, as they believed adhering to religious practices was the best protection against HIV. Conclusions Muslims in the GCC recognise the importance of spreading awareness about HIV. However, they stress the need to balance religious sensitivity with the delivery of open and transparent health messages. Engaging the target community, including high-risk individuals, in planning health campaigns is crucial for improving the acceptance, reach, inclusivity, and understanding of health awareness programs.
