Saudization for pharmacy professions in Saudi Arabia to start on July 27
The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (HRSD), in partnership with the Ministry of Health, will begin enforcing the decision to raise Saudization rates for pharmacy-related professions on July 27. According to a HRSD statement, the decision includes 35% Saudization of community pharmacies and medical centers, 65% in hospitals, and 55% in other pharmacy-related activities. It will be enforced based on Ministerial Decision No. 103111 dated 26/01/2025, which approved the updated procedural guide for pharmacy professions, including the enforcement of Saudization rates and a minimum wage, in line with the definitions, job titles, and requirements specified in the guide. The decision aims to provide motivating and stable job opportunities for Saudis across the Kingdom, increase their participation in the labor market, and aligns with the Ministry's strategy to localize sectors and target activities and professions in line with the goals of Vision 2030. According to data available on Argaam, HRSD announced in January decisions to raise Saudization rates in 269 professions across various sectors, in collaboration with several supervisory bodies including the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Commerce, and the Ministry of Municipal, Rural Affairs, and Housing.

What We Are Reading Today: ‘The Expectation Effect'
Published in 2022, 'The Expectation Effect,' by award-winning science writer David Robson, explores the consequences of people's beliefs and expectations on their health, performance, well-being, and perception of reality. Robson argues that even seemingly insignificant thoughts can significantly influence our physiological and psychological responses. He introduces research that supports his claims, including that on the placebo effect. One interesting angle explored by Robson is the relationship between stress and performance; he suggests that stress can sometimes be used as a tool to enhance performance under pressure. He also claims that a person's perception of aging plays a role in shaping their health later in life. Although Robson does a good job of explaining how he reaches his conclusions, I found it hard to agree completely with some of his broader opinions. 'The Expectation Effect' is an interesting take on mindsets and how they impact us, but it should not be treated as a definitive guide to life and its problems.
