Whether you're a Saudi citizen, a long-term resident, or you've just moved to the Kingdom, the Sehhaty app is the single most useful tool for managing your health with the Ministry of Health (MOH). It's the unified national e-health platform for individuals, and it works alongside Seha Virtual Hospital to give you appointments, medical records, sick leaves, and even live consultations with specialists — all from your phone, and all free of charge. This Saudi Living guide walks you through what these apps do and how to get the most out of them.
What Sehhaty is (and who can use it)
Sehhaty is the government's official individual e-health platform, used across all government health entities. It's designed for everyone in the Kingdom — citizens, residents, and their dependents, including children, elderly family members, and people with special needs. You can manage your own record and add dependents so you can book and track appointments for your kids or parents too.
Access to the app and its core services is free. Listed MOH e-services (including Home Healthcare) show "Service Cost: Free" and do not carry any SAR fee for using the app or its basic services.
Getting started and logging in
Download Sehhaty from your phone's app store and sign in with your national ID or residency (Iqama) details. Verification is typically linked to your registered mobile number. Once you're in, you'll see a dashboard with a "Services" icon that opens the full menu of what's available to you.
- Log in to the Sehhaty app.
- Tap the "Services" icon.
- Search for the service you need (for example, "Home Healthcare").
- Submit your application or request directly through the app.
Because features and availability can update over time, always confirm details for your specific facility inside the app itself.
The core services you'll actually use
Sehhaty bundles a wide range of everyday health tasks into one place:
- Appointments: Book, review, and manage both in-person and remote appointments at MOH facilities and virtual clinics.
- Consultations: Request instant medical consultations and remote appointments linked to Seha Virtual Hospital and the unified 937 call center.
- Your health record: View vital signs, the "Know Your Numbers" feature, and your Digital Health Wallet.
- Reports and sick leaves: Review medical reports and issue or retrieve sick leave certificates.
- Medications: Search medicines, review prescriptions, and save a personal medicine list.
- Vaccinations: Follow up on vaccine records for children and adults, and book COVID-19 testing or vaccine appointments.
- Women's health: Pregnancy follow-up and related services.
- Family doctor: The "My Doctor" service, children's appointments, lifestyle tracking (steps and vital signs), and educational health content.
Home Healthcare through the app
If you or a family member needs care delivered at home, you can request it directly through Sehhaty. Open the "Services" menu, search for "Home Healthcare," and submit the application. This service is currently listed as free of charge, with no SAR service fee indicated. It's especially helpful for elderly relatives or patients who find it difficult to travel to a facility.
Seha Virtual Hospital: care without a clinic visit
Seha Virtual Hospital is the MOH's national virtual care facility, and it's tightly connected to Sehhaty. You can reach its consultations through the Sehhaty app, the unified 937 call center, or the official social platform channel. It's built to save you a trip when you don't strictly need to be seen in person.
- Instant on-demand consultations available 24/7.
- Specialized consultations (including Consult+ and inpatient consultations).
- Real-time specialist consultations in fields such as cardiology and psychiatry, plus urgent pathways like telestroke.
Virtual clinics inside MOH health centers are also accessed via Sehhaty, whenever the service is available at your specific facility.
Practical tips to get the most out of it
- Add your dependents early so you can manage the whole family's appointments and records in one login.
- Keep your registered mobile number up to date so verification and notifications work smoothly.
- Use the medicine list and health record before any clinic visit — it saves time and helps your doctor.
- For sick leave certificates, retrieve and verify them directly in the app rather than requesting paper copies.
- When in doubt about a service or fee, rely on what the app displays and the official MOH channels rather than third-party claims.
Between Sehhaty and Seha Virtual Hospital, most routine health needs — booking, records, prescriptions, sick leaves, and virtual consultations — can be handled from your phone, for free, wherever you are in the Kingdom.
