Sehhaty and Seha Apps Guide for Saudi Arabia

Oct 29, 2026•4 min read

Saudi Arabia has digitized a large part of its public health experience, and two Ministry of Health platforms sit at the center of it: Sehhaty and Seha. For most residents, expats, and their dependents, Sehhaty is the main day-to-day health app, covering everything from booking appointments to viewing your health records and arranging your premarital screening. This Saudi Living guide walks you through what each platform does, how to sign in, and how to handle the most common tasks step by step.

What is Sehhaty?

Sehhaty is the Ministry of Health's unified health platform, designed for citizens, residents, and their dependents alike. It brings together the services you would normally need to visit a clinic or call a hotline for, and puts them in one place. Core services include:

Booking and reviewing appointments at health facilities
Remote appointments and immediate consultations
Access to your health records
Prescriptions
Vaccination services
Medical reports

Registration and use of the Sehhaty app are free, and no general service fee is stated for standard use. As with any government service, confirm any specific charges for a particular service directly through the app or the Ministry of Health channels.

Signing In With Nafath

Sehhaty uses your Saudi digital identity, so you sign in through Nafath. This means you authenticate with the same verified national digital identity you use across other Saudi government services, rather than creating a separate standalone login. Make sure your Nafath is already set up and working on your phone before you try to access health services, since the sign-in flow depends on it.

How to Book an Appointment

Booking a health appointment through Sehhaty is straightforward once you are signed in. Follow these steps:

Open the Sehhaty app and sign in using your Saudi digital identity through Nafath
Select Appointments
Choose the service you need and the facility you want to visit
Select an available time slot
Confirm your booking

You can also use the app to review existing appointments, so it is worth checking back before your visit to confirm the date, time, and location.

Premarital Screening Through Sehhaty

One of the most frequently used services for couples planning to marry is the premarital screening (healthy marriage program). You can arrange this through Sehhaty or by calling 937. To book, you will need to provide both partners' national ID details and dates of birth.

Key points to know:

The premarital screening itself is free
If the results are compatible, the certificate is issued electronically
The certificate number and an inquiry link are sent to you by SMS
If the results require counseling, the couple must attend the designated counseling clinic before the certificate is issued

Because the certificate and its inquiry link arrive by SMS, keep the message safe — you may need the certificate number later when completing marriage procedures.

What is Seha?

Seha is another Ministry of Health electronic health platform. It is part of the Kingdom's broader push to deliver health services digitally. At the time of writing, verified details on general user fees, validity periods, and specific operating steps for Seha were not available, so we are not going to guess at them. For the most accurate and current instructions, rely on the official Ministry of Health channels and the information shown inside the app itself.

Tips for Getting the Most From These Apps

Set up and verify Nafath first — it is the gateway to signing in.
Keep your contact number up to date, since certificates, confirmations, and links are sent by SMS.
Add your dependents where applicable so you can manage family appointments in one place.
Do not rely on memory for fees or validity periods — these can change, so always confirm the latest details through the official Ministry of Health platform.
Check your appointment details in the app shortly before your visit to avoid turning up at the wrong facility or time.

Used well, Sehhaty turns routine health admin — booking, records, prescriptions, vaccinations, and premarital screening — into a few taps on your phone. If a specific fee, validity period, or 2026 procedure matters for your situation, verify it directly on the official Saudi Ministry of Health channels before you act.
