Saudi Arabia’s Seha Virtual Hospital has been honored with the Digital Health Organization of the Year award at the eighth Zimam Digital Health Forum in Dubai. The recognition highlights the Kingdom’s growing leadership in digital healthcare innovation.
A Milestone in Saudi Healthcare
Launched in February 2022, Seha Virtual Hospital is the first of its kind in the Middle East and the largest in the world. It is connected to over 230 hospitals worldwide. It represents a major step toward the digital transformation goals of Saudi Vision 2030, aiming to make healthcare more accessible, efficient, and sustainable.
How the Virtual Hospital Works
Unlike a standard video consultation, Seha connects patients at local hospitals with top specialists in Riyadh through real-time clinical sessions. During these sessions, doctors can review X-rays, lab results, and vital signs instantly — even guiding local teams through complex cases and emergencies around the clock.
Regional Recognition
The Zimam Award celebrates organizations in the Middle East and North Africa that excel in digital health innovation. By winning this award, Seha and the Innovation Empowerment Center were recognized for advancing healthcare accessibility, improving patient outcomes, and fostering a culture of technological innovation.
Looking Ahead
This achievement reinforces Saudi Arabia’s commitment to redefining healthcare through technology. As the Kingdom continues to invest in smart health solutions, Seha Virtual Hospital stands as a model for how digital innovation can bridge distances, save lives, and shape the future of medicine.
