Overview
Sehhaty (sehhaty.sa) is Saudi Arabia's unified digital health platform run by the Ministry of Health (MOH), serving more than 24 million citizens and residents in 2026. The platform connects every Saudi public hospital, every primary care centre, the Mawid clinic network, the Ministry of Health vaccination registries, and most major Saudi private hospitals through their MOH integration. For pilgrims during the Hajj and Umrah seasons, Sehhaty has become the single channel for the kingdom's medical compliance: vaccination booking, fitness clearance, and access to the broader pilgrim health framework.
Functionally, Sehhaty surfaces six main service families. Primary care and hospital appointments at MOH facilities through the Mawid integration. Vaccination booking and the digital vaccination card covering the full national schedule plus seasonal flu, COVID boosters, and pre-Hajj meningococcal and yellow-fever updates. Prescription tracking with refill ordering at pharmacies. Teleconsultation with MOH doctors for routine care. Personal health records summarised across MOH facilities. And the Hajj health clearance flow for both domestic and international pilgrims.
Three operational points matter. First, Sehhaty registration requires a Saudi National ID (citizens) or Iqama (residents), with Nafath authentication at the bind step. Second, dependants under 18 are linked to the parent's account, with vaccination history and appointments visible to the parent. Third, although Sehhaty is the MOH consumer surface, certain services still happen in their dedicated channels: SEHA-equivalent private hospitals operate their own apps (Dr. Suliman Al-Habib, Saudi German Hospitals, IMC), and private health insurance claims still route through the insurer. Confirm specific service availability inside Sehhaty before assuming a flow.
For Saudi residents and citizens Sehhaty is the Ministry of Health's national health app: 24+ million users for primary care booking, vaccination records, prescription refills, telemedicine consultations, and integration with the broader Saudi health ecosystem. The 2026 pattern: Sehhaty for primary care and chronic-condition management, Tawakkalna for cross-ministry views including health, and CCHI-channel private insurance providers (Bupa, Tawuniya, MedGulf) for specialist and inpatient care. Sign-on via Nafath. Country context at our Saudi Arabia guide.
What changed and matters operationally in 2026: Sehhaty has expanded telemedicine offerings significantly, with general practitioner video consultations available for most non-acute conditions; vaccination records (including childhood vaccinations) are stored and downloadable as PDF for school enrolment and travel; prescription refills can be picked up at any pharmacy via the digital prescription QR code; the app integrates with private-insurance providers for claims and pre-authorisation in many cases. For families managing children's health, the dependent linking feature consolidates each family member's records.

How to access Sehhaty
- 1
Install Sehhaty
Download Sehhaty (صحتي) from the App Store or Google Play. Publisher is the Ministry of Health. The app is free. Available in Arabic and English.
- 2
Register with National ID or Iqama
Open the app, enter your National ID (citizens) or Iqama number (residents), and a Saudi mobile in your name. Complete SMS OTP. Sehhaty cross-checks against the Civil Affairs and MOH databases.
- 3
Authenticate with Nafath
Sehhaty binds to Nafath for any sensitive action (viewing health records, booking appointments). Install Nafath if you have not already, and approve the bind from inside Nafath.
- 4
Link dependants
Children under 18 are linked through Family Services. Parents see their children's vaccination history, book paediatric appointments, and download their digital vaccination cards. Spouse linkage follows the family-book record.
- 5
Use the app for routine care
Book appointments at primary care centres, schedule annual flu vaccination, refill prescriptions, and consult a doctor remotely. Hajj season activates additional services: meningococcal and yellow-fever booking, pre-pilgrimage clearance, and updates on health protocols at the Two Holy Mosques.
Troubleshooting
The errors residents hit most often on Sehhaty, and the fix that works.
Update registered address in Sehhaty Profile or via Absher (which syncs). Primary care centre is determined by address.
Check internet bandwidth, lighting, and microphone permissions. Retry from a different network if persistent.
Vaccinations done at private clinics may not appear. Request the clinic to upload to MoH-channel records, or download from the clinic directly for school/travel use.
Pharmacy network varies. Try a different MoH-network pharmacy; the QR code is universally accepted by them.
Dependent must be linked in Absher sponsorship records first. Confirm Absher Family Services shows the dependent; then add in Sehhaty.
Insurer may not be integrated. Use insurer's own app for pre-auth and claims; Sehhaty integration is limited to specific providers.
Confirm the booking in Sehhaty > My Appointments. If shows confirmed but clinic disagrees, screenshot the confirmation and bring to the appointment; clinic can re-verify.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Sehhaty serves all individuals, citizens and residents in the kingdom, along with their dependents, including children, the elderly, and people of determination. The platform's 24+ million user base reflects this universal coverage.
Yes. The app is free to download and free to use. MOH appointments are free at primary care centres for citizens and residents. Specialist care fees at private facilities are separate and route through their own billing or through your health insurance.
Open Sehhaty, navigate to Appointments, choose your nearest primary care centre and the appropriate clinic, select an available slot, and confirm. The system sends a reminder closer to the appointment time.
Open Sehhaty, navigate to Vaccinations > Digital Card. The PDF is available for download with a QR code that any verifier (school, airport, employer) can scan to confirm authenticity. Updated automatically as new vaccinations are administered.
Yes through Family Services. Link children under 18 to your account by their National ID or Iqama, and their vaccination history, appointments, and growth records appear under your view.
During the Hajj season, Sehhaty surfaces pilgrim health services: meningococcal and yellow-fever vaccination booking, pre-pilgrimage health clearance, and updates on the health protocols at the Two Holy Mosques. International pilgrims connect through the broader Nusuk platform, with Sehhaty as the health-clearance layer.
Yes. Book a video or audio consultation with an MOH doctor for routine care, repeat prescriptions, and minor concerns. The consultation is recorded as part of your health record. Emergency cases should call 997 or go to the nearest emergency department directly.
The record remains on file at MOH. You can continue to log in to Sehhaty from anywhere with internet (Nafath authentication required), download your vaccination card and any health records before leaving, and request a summary for sharing with a new healthcare provider abroad.
Open Sehhaty > Family Members > Add Dependent. Enter the dependent's Iqama number (for expat dependents) or National ID (for Saudi dependents). The app verifies the linkage against Absher/Tawakkalna family records; if the dependent is registered under your sponsorship, the linkage completes automatically. For each linked dependent you can view appointment history, vaccination records, current prescriptions, and book new appointments on their behalf. The dependent's individual Sehhaty account remains separate (they can also link to their own); the family-level view is for the sponsor's convenience. For children under 18 the sponsor's account is the primary access point; once they reach 18 they typically migrate to their own. Cross-link with Tawakkalna's Family Info for the broader sponsorship view.
Sehhaty primarily covers MoH primary care - free for Saudi citizens, subsidised for expat residents on basic coverage. For private specialist care or inpatient treatment, your CCHI-channel insurance (Bupa, Tawuniya, MedGulf, others) is the relevant channel; you book directly with the private hospital/clinic. Sehhaty integrates with several major insurers for pre-authorisation requests (visible in 'My Insurance' section if your insurer is integrated), which speeds up specialist referrals. Prescription refills for private-care-prescribed medications can sometimes be picked up via Sehhaty's pharmacy network but coverage depends on the insurer's formulary; check insurance app first. For dental, eye, and maternity care, both Sehhaty (MoH-channel) and private insurance offer options - the pricing and queue varies. The pragmatic position is to use Sehhaty for routine primary care and the private insurance for specialist and elective.
