A two-day congress recently convened in Al-Khobar, bringing together nursing leaders, educators, and practitioners from across the Kingdom with the aim of strengthening and modernizing the national nursing profession. The event focused on leadership development, performance excellence, and updating nursing practices to keep pace with global advances in healthcare delivery.
One of the main themes of the congress was the integration of advanced technologies and digital tools into nursing services — including discussions on electronic medical records, virtual nursing care, and AI-powered applications — all aimed at improving patient outcomes and raising efficiency in care delivery. The event also addressed ongoing professional education, with accredited training programs designed to recruit and train nurses from different regions of the Kingdom to meet rising demand and ensure high standards of care.
Speakers emphasized the importance of robust organizational frameworks that support high-quality nursing practice. They argued that strong institutional structures, clear procedures, and well-defined professional pathways are essential for establishing a reliable and sustainable nursing system — one that goes beyond individual skill to collective professionalism and accountability.
At the conclusion of the congress, many participants expressed optimism that the ideas and plans presented would significantly advance the country’s healthcare trajectory. The initiatives are expected to enhance care quality, improve patient experience, and contribute to the Kingdom’s broader goal of building a modern, effective healthcare system.
