Asserting the Case for Saudi-Produced Authentic Health Education Videos to Support Healthcare Transformation

Abstract

The Saudi Vision 2030 health sector transformation program has education as a key element. Related to this focus is the essential component of providing educational materials to support the allied health roles that are at the nucleus of the change.  Previous approaches used education videos of other Arab nations, or dubbed the content of international videos, sometimes with subtitles that do not facilitate health literacy of the Saudi nation. This review focuses on evidence-based justification for producing authentic Saudi-produced videos to achieve cultural responsiveness and engagement. The key benefit to Saudi individuals and communities is cultural alignment for relatedness to the content and health-related messages, so that the message is conveyed, which is illustrated here through the new Model of Care (MoC) healthcare delivery system in the health sector transformation.
