Abstract

The healthcare system in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has undergone significant modernization in alignment with Saudi Vision 2030, which prioritizes the development of a “preventive, integrated, and patient-centered” care model (Saudi Vision 2030, 2016). While advancements in medical infrastructure and digital health technologies are well-documented (Almalki, 2021), the role of laboratory medicine as the foundation of clinical decision-making remains understudied, particularly its interdisciplinary connections to emergency care, pharmacy, and radiology.
