Saudi health minister visits Australia
AlJalajel met up with students from various academic disciplines and stressed their role as ambassadors for their country in the ambitious transformation the Kingdom is undertaking under Saudi Vision 2030, which aspires to build a vibrant society and deliver world-class services across sectors.
He praised the Human Capability Development Program, which seeks to prepare students for global competitiveness by fostering both foundational and future skills and knowledge; transferring international best practices in education and skills development; aligning educational outcomes with the needs of the local and global labor market; and advancing a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship.
The meeting reflected the leadership's commitment to investing in human capital, as thousands of Saudi students pursue higher education abroad in the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Scholarship Program.
It marked the conclusion of AlJalajel's official visit to Melbourne, after which he was set to proceed to the capital Canberra to continue strengthening the Kingdom's partnership with Australia in the area of sustainable healthcare.
The minister said on X: 'As part of my visit to Australia to explore opportunities for collaboration, I've begun a series of meetings and visits in Melbourne aimed at strengthening strategic partnerships and exchanging expertise in health, innovation, and biotechnology — supporting the development of our healthcare system and achieving Saudi Vision 2030 goals.'

SFDA grants marketing authorization for Saudi-made medical device
Saudi Gazette report RIYADH — The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) has approved a Saudi-developed medical device for marketing. This innovative tool is designed to improve the safety and efficiency of surgical procedures, the SFDA said in a statement. The device is a hand-worn tool that features a magnetic holder on the back of the hand to secure suture needles during knot-tying. This design allows surgeons to use both hands with ease, significantly reducing the risk of accidental needle injuries during operations. Before granting approval, the device underwent a thorough evaluation process, including a review of technical documentation and clinical evidence to ensure its safety and effectiveness. According to SFDA, the device is protected by two registered patents in both Saudi Arabia and the United States. Developed at King Saud University, it is being manufactured locally by a Saudi medical device factory, showcasing Saudi Arabia's growing capacity for national innovation. The project is a direct outcome of a strategic partnership between SFDA and King Saud University's Entrepreneurship Institute. SFDA provided critical support through workshops and regulatory consultations to help the developers meet technical requirements. The private sector also played a key role in bringing the product to the Saudi market. This joint effort resulted in the product's successful market entry, highlighting the integrated roles of different sectors in fostering national creativity. This achievement is one of the positive outcomes of the "Innovative Medical Devices" pathway, a program launched by SFDA in 2021. The program aims to support and encourage innovators to continue developing medical technologies that strengthen the healthcare system and improve patient outcomes. The approval of this device marks a significant step forward for the healthcare sector in Saudi Arabia. It directly supports the Health Sector Transformation Program, a key component of Saudi Vision 2030, which seeks to build a sustainable healthcare system and create a regulatory environment that inspires innovation. This success also reinforces the Kingdom's position as a leader in global medical research and development.

Jeddah mental health center unveils robot to support addiction recovery
JEDDAH: Eradah Mental Health Complex in Jeddah recently unveiled a robot, named 'Raseen,' as part of the digital health transformation underway in Saudi Arabia. Raseen is Eradah's digital assistant, designed to support patients on their recovery journey and raise community awareness about the dangers of substance abuse through advanced artificial intelligence and interactive educational content. The name of the humanoid robot is derived from the Arabic word for sobriety, symbolizing a state of abstinence from drugs and alcohol while striving for balance in health, psychology, society and spirituality. Unlike traditional robots that perform simple tasks such as serving drinks or working in restaurants, Raseen is an interactive humanoid. Dressed in traditional Saudi attire, he listens to questions, analyses them, and responds with scientifically accurate answers. Powered by advanced AI algorithms and precise scientific programming, Raseen exceeds the capabilities of ordinary chatbot systems, enabling its use in a variety of fields, including awareness campaigns, psychological support, administrative functions and more. Dr. Khalid Al-Oufi, general supervisor of Eradah, told Arab News: 'Raseen participates in international days, forums and conferences related to mental health and addiction. 'He also visits schools, universities, government facilities, walking tracks and sports clubs, where he privately listens to people's concerns about mental health and addiction and provides clear, detailed responses.' Al-Oufi, who is also a consultant psychiatrist, addiction specialist and head of the addiction division at the Saudi Psychiatric Association, added: 'Raseen also raises awareness about the risks of mental illness and addiction, methods of early detection and intervention, available psychiatric services and how to access them, as well as prevention strategies to avoid relapse.' In outpatient clinics and inpatient wards, Raseen plays a role in patient education during individual and group therapy sessions. The robot explains the nature of psychiatric disorders and addiction, prevalence rates, causes and triggers, types of mental illnesses and narcotics, warning signs, complications, prognosis with or without treatment, and behavioral as well as pharmacological treatment options. Al-Oufi further explained that Raseen supports administrative and professional development by educating staff about their rights and responsibilities, workplace policies and procedures, job descriptions and organizational structures. He helps staff to understand Vision 2030 and the health sector transformation plan while offering suggestions for improvement and addressing employees' inquiries. AI in mental health: promise and challenges The use of artificial intelligence in mental health is multifaceted. While there are concerns about job displacement, social isolation and ethical considerations, AI offers powerful opportunities to enhance access to care and strengthen mental health support. Experts from the National Centre for Mental Health Promotion emphasize the importance of striking a careful and ethical balance between the benefits and challenges of AI to ensure a positive impact. According to the NCMHP, AI has the potential to play a crucial role in diagnosis and treatment. While this can improve medical outcomes, the NCMHP stresses that overreliance on AI could undermine the human connection between patients and caregivers, potentially leading to diminished trust. Ethical issues remain at the forefront, particularly regarding data privacy and algorithmic bias. Data breaches or misuse of personal information could erode public trust in technology and fuel anxiety over privacy concerns. Nevertheless, the NCMHP notes that the future of AI in mental health is promising. AI-driven applications and chatbots are being continuously developed to provide mental health support, and the number of AI tools in healthcare is expected to increase fivefold by 2035.
