National medicines policy development, Saudi Arabia.

Medicines are at the core of every health system. The World Health Organization recommends countries develop national medicines policies that guide production, procurement, prescription and provision of medicines so that people can access the medicines they need at prices they can afford, while avoiding irrational use. However, the development of such policies is rarely straightforward.

The capacity of primary health care facilities in Saudi Arabia: infrastructure, services, drug availability, and human resources.

Background: Primary healthcare (PHC) is an essential component of an effective healthcare system. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's (KSA) health reforms prioritize tackling the increasing noncommunicable disease burden by prioritizing PHC, centering it as the core of the newly proposed Model of Care. To identify challenges and opportunities to scale up PHC capacity, understanding the current capacity of primary health care centers (PHCC) is critical.
