<abstract>
<p>Vision 2030 outlines a comprehensive modernization plan for Saudi Arabia, focusing on transforming the healthcare sector. The initiative aims to evolve from a centralized system to a high-quality, efficient healthcare framework. Over the past nine years, the Ministry of Health (MOH) has established the Innovation Center to nurture talent, enhance global connections, and integrate advanced technologies in healthcare. This centre develops innovative ideas into actionable projects that benefit patients and equips healthcare leaders with strategies for evidence-based decision-making. Since its inception in 2016, the Innovation Center has launched initiatives like the Mawhoob program to support talent development, ultimately striving to embed innovation within the healthcare ecosystem and address future challenges.
