Introduction: COVID-19 has drastically transformed healthcare delivery and forced many to utilize telehealth. This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the telehealth service "Sehha" used during COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia and assess the provider experience and satisfaction with Sehha.

Methods: A questionnaire was distributed by the Ministry of Health (MoH) to 362 physicians using Sehha. The questionnaire items were adapted from previous studies and then tested for content validity and reliability (α

Results: The findings showed that most of the physicians improved their experience in telehealth because of COVID-19. The majority of the physicians (67.6 percent) reported being satisfied with Sehha. However, the most commonly perceived challenge by the physicians was difficulty in providing accurate medical assessments.

Conclusion: COVID-19 has remarkably uncovered numerous benefits of telehealth. Therefore, telehealth should remain a permanent model of healthcare delivery with consideration of further telehealth development initiatives.
