RIYADH Minister of Health Dr. Tawfiq Al-Rabiah, who is also the chairman of the Board of Directors of the Saudi Center for Disease Prevention and Control (Weqaya), appreciated the decision of the Council of Ministers to convert Weqaya to the Public Health Authority (PAH).
Dr. Al-Rabiah said that PAH will work to enhance the Kingdom’s success in achieving the goals of Vision 2030 that are consistent with a wide range of the authority’s goals.
“The authority works with other health sectors and various Vision programs to realize the Saudi society’s welfare as well as to ensure the state’s attention to public health, apart from promoting the health principle of prevention better than cure. This is through enacting legislation, and framing public policies and programs that cover all aspects of the concept of public health that goes beyond the role of the health sector,” he said.

How digital health impacts the development and adoption of cancer immunotherapies
Shares1
Essential to the future of cancer immunotherapies is a digital health infrastructure that can support reliable, secure and compliant data collection from disparate systems and devices. As more and more immuno-oncology (IO) treatments come to market, biopharma will require data to enable more efficient research and development; providers will require data to drive more personalized treatments and payers will require data that enables them to make informed decisions about which therapies to cover.
There are new data-related challenges as well. Far more data are becoming available to oncologists, caregivers, insurers, biopharma companies, and other stakeholders, making it more difficult to parse the data that are actionable and valuable. IO combination therapies are gaining approval for the treatment of a wide variety of conditions.
