Sustainable Development (SD)2030 is a global consensual agreement among nation states to build a sustainable, desirable and progressively interrelated world. Achieving the Sustainable Development 2030 is seen as a main component of development for health. This article explores the state capacity and the role of Vision2030 and Sustainable Development 2030 in the revitalizing the healthcare system in Saudi Arabia. Systematic review and thematic data analysis technique are used as method of this study. The Saudi government highlighted and emphasized Vision 2030 to improve population health and the world body emphasized that Sustainable Development 2030 will contribute to “healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”. Saudi Arabia’s Vision2030 encourages the state to play a renewed role in development in the light of the UN’s declaration of the ‘right to development’. In pursuing development, the state must have necessary institutional environment in sustaining capacity, resources and interactions among groups for realizing constructive roles and functions in maintaining state affairs. The government needs to develop a sustainable healthcare system by adding to health human resources, building public-private partnership, and efficient use of resources through stewardship, good governance, accountability, and transparency.

To explore the views of clients referred for physical therapy in a tertiary care setting regarding the integration of physical therapy service at primary health care centers. [Participants and Methods] A selfadministered questionnaire was distributed to eligible Saudi clients. The questionnaire consisted of three sections including demographic information section; closed-ended section with 6 Likert scale items on the perceptions of potential advantages of physical therapy service at the primary health care level; and open-ended section on potential disadvantages and barriers of implementing physical therapy service. The surveys were described and analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. [Results] A total of 412 participants were included in the analysis (56.8% females). Participants' mean age was 35.7 ± 21.9 years; 67.2% were Riyadh city residents; and 38.1% had musculoskeletal conditions. Seventy-five percent responded in support for the availability of physical therapy service at the primary health care level. Demographic characteristics had no effect on the level of support to the service availability. [Conclusion] The results of this survey demonstrated high positive support for the integration of physical therapy service at primary health care centers in Saudi Arabia. However, challenges and barriers identified by the study results require attention when physical therapy services are to be established.

Providing efficient healthcare is more important today than ever before. Simulation is a well-established technique that has been used to understand and improve systems in various applications. It seems that simulation implementation in the healthcare industry is surrounded by a number of issues. Research on the subject has been mostly restricted to the analysis of academic literature, with a few industrial surveys. This empirical study contributes to our understanding of simulation application in Saudi healthcare services. The findings include an analysis of performance improvement methodologies currently in use, as well as simulation applications, barriers, and potential.
