Sehhaty & Seha Apps: Your Saudi Health Guide

Oct 23, 2026•4 min read

Saudi Arabia has brought most of its day-to-day digital health services into one place through the Ministry of Health's unified app, Sehhaty. Whether you are a citizen, resident, or a dependent registered under a family account, Sehhaty lets you book appointments, consult a doctor remotely, view prescriptions, check lab results, and keep your vaccination and medical records in one digital wallet. If you previously used the Seha app, most of its services have now been merged into Sehhaty, so Sehhaty is the primary platform for routine use. This guide from سعودي ليفنج walks you through what the app offers and how to use it step by step.

What Sehhaty does

Sehhaty is designed as a single gateway to Ministry of Health services. The app is available in both Arabic and English, and registration and standard use are generally free — there is no listed fee for the app or for standard Ministry of Health digital services.

Booking appointments at health centers and facilities
Remote (virtual) consultations by audio, video, or text where available
Viewing electronic prescriptions and searching for medications
Checking sick-leave documents issued to you
Accessing medical reports, lab results, and vaccination records
Digital health-wallet services that keep your records in one place

Getting started and signing in

Standard access uses your Saudi national ID or your resident identity details along with account verification. Some sensitive services may ask you to confirm your identity through the national digital-identity system. Once you are signed in, you can switch the app language between Arabic and English from the settings, and you can view services for yourself and for dependents linked to your account.

How to book an appointment

Booking an in-person appointment is one of the most-used features. The steps are straightforward:

Open Sehhaty and sign in
Select Appointments
Choose the service you need and the health facility
Pick an available date and time
Confirm the booking

For eligible health-center appointments, the confirmed date and time are sent to you by SMS, and a reminder is normally sent one day before your appointment so you don't miss it. If you need to change or cancel, do it in good time so the slot can be released to another patient.

Requesting a virtual consultation

When you don't need to visit in person, Sehhaty lets you speak to a clinician remotely. To start a consultation:

Open Sehhaty and choose an immediate or scheduled consultation
Select audio, video, or text where that option is available
Submit the required medical information about your condition
Wait to be connected to the clinician

Virtual consultations are also available through the Ministry of Health unified number 937, which is useful if you prefer a phone-based route or need help.

Prescriptions and sick leave

If it is medically appropriate, the clinician may issue an electronic prescription or an electronic sick-leave document during or after your consultation. These appear in your digital record within the app, and the validity of each document depends on what was issued and is shown alongside it. Because everything is stored digitally, you can view your prescriptions and sick leave later without keeping paper copies.

Seha Virtual Hospital

Alongside the everyday services in Sehhaty, the Seha Virtual Hospital supports more advanced remote care. It provides virtual critical-care, urgent-care, specialty, allied-health, and medical-consultation services, connecting patients and smaller facilities with specialist expertise remotely. For most residents, routine needs are handled through Sehhaty, while the virtual hospital works behind the scenes to extend specialist care across the Kingdom.

Good to know

There is no universal published price for a consultation, no fixed appointment fee, and no fixed validity period for Sehhaty or Seha services in the available official information.
There is no current change creating a separate paid Seha app service or a fixed charge.
For anything involving fees, eligibility, or document validity, confirm the details through the official Ministry of Health channels.

With Sehhaty on your phone, most of your routine health admin — from booking to consultations to records — is handled in a few taps, in the language you prefer.
