Abstract

This is a review paper focusing on privatization of health-care delivery system in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its potential impact. 30 suitable literature were identified from a database out of which only 20 were relevant after reading the , and finally, only nine relevant papers from literature search and seven more papers from the references were included in the review. Although privatizing the Saudi health-care system has some benefits and challenges, there is no strong scientific evidence to support the privatization of health-care system in Saudi Arabia. It is recommended that prior starting the privatization, the Saudi Government should make suitable policies and plans to overcome the challenges.
