Health Care in Saudi Arabia
- The health of a country’s population is an important responsibility of a government. Illness, early deaths and serious disease weaken a country in both economic and social ways. As well as this, a nation needs to care for those people who can’t care for themselves – the young and elderly.
- In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the national health care system has two main sections which provide health care for the population. Firstly, there is a nationwide network of health clinics. These clinics provide basic health services and emergency care. There are also some mobile clinics that regularly visit remote villages. Secondly, there is a network of 350 advanced hospitals and specialist clinics that are in urban areas across the country.
- There are three basic principles or ideas that define the kingdom’s health service. First of all, everyone can receive care, including visitors to the country. Secondly, this care is free for everyone. When people are ill, they do not pay for their treatment. Finally, the money for the health service comes from the sale of the kingdom’s oil.
- The health care system continues to grow and develop, but it faces one particular problem. A growing health system needs more and more doctors and nurses. Unfortunately, there are few medical colleges in Saudi Arabia, which means there are not many new Saudi doctors and nurses. The majority of the health workers in Saudi Arabia come from other countries. In order to solve this problem, the government is now building new medical training facilities.

About me
Hello! Welcome to my website. My name is Yuki and I'm Japanese. I'm a student of Art and Design in London. I'm really enjoying this city - it's expensive but it's never boring. I go everywhere by bike. In my free time, I like playing squash. I also like watching comedies on TV and writing material for my website - so I can practise my English! Please read my articles about some cultural events in London at the moment.
Hogarth
Tate Britain, London SW1, until 29 April
William Hogarth was a very successful English painter of the eighteenth century. He spent his life in London. All his famous paintings are in this enormous exhibition and there’s a lot of variety.The paintings are full of life and some are very funny, but sometimes the amount of detail is confusing.Actually, I liked hisprints more than the paintings. Anyway, this exhibition is definitely worth seeing. I now feel I understand a lot more about this city!
Kylie: The Exhibition
V&A, London SW7, until 10 June
Some people thought that a museum wasn’t the right place for an exhibition about a modern celebrity’s clothes. But some of the clothes we see are 20 years old, and arepart of history. There’s the white cotton dress Kylie wore for the video of I Should Be So Lucky. Then, there are the clothes she wore when she first appeared in the Australian soap operaNeighbours. Each dress, shoe or boot tells a story, and we learn about the designers, the videos, and the tours. The exhibition doesn’t explain how she became so special but it’s a lot of fun. I really recommend it!
