If you live in Saudi Arabia, the Ministry of Health’s Sehhaty app is one of the most useful digital tools you can have on your phone. It brings a wide range of public health services into a single place — from booking appointments and getting remote consultations to viewing your sick leave and managing your dependents’ care. In this Saudi Living guide, we explain what Sehhaty offers, who can use it, and how to get started. We also clear up a common point of confusion about a separate “Seha” app.
What is Sehhaty?
Sehhaty is the official health platform and app operated by the Ministry of Health. It is designed to give citizens, residents, and dependents in Saudi Arabia easy access to health services without needing to visit a clinic for every routine task. The app is available in both Arabic and English, so you can switch to whichever language you are most comfortable with.
Importantly, Sehhaty is free to download and use. There is no listed fee to install the app or access its core services.
Who can use it?
The platform is built to serve a broad audience in Saudi Arabia:
- Saudi citizens
- Residents (expats) living in the Kingdom
- Dependents linked to a main account holder
Because dependents’ services are supported, parents and family sponsors can help manage appointments and health records for children and other family members through their own account.
What services are available?
Sehhaty pulls together many everyday health needs. The services you can expect to find include:
- Immediate consultations and remote appointments, so you can speak with a health professional without traveling to a facility
- Booking and reviewing appointments at health centres and hospitals
- Medication search to look up medicines and related information
- Digital health wallet to keep your key health information in one place
- Sick leave and medical report review, useful for confirming and sharing official records
- Asafny service
- Women’s health services
- Dependents’ services for managing family members’ care
- COVID-19 screening appointments
- Asthma weather alerts to help sensitive patients stay ahead of conditions that can affect breathing
How to get started
Getting up and running with Sehhaty is straightforward:
- Download the Sehhaty app from your device’s app store — it is listed as free.
- Open the app and sign in or register through the platform’s official login flow.
- Once verified, browse the available services from the app’s home screen.
- Select the service you need — such as booking an appointment or requesting a consultation — and follow the on-screen steps.
Keep your national ID or residency (Iqama) details handy, as verification is tied to your official identity in the Kingdom.
What about the “Seha” app?
Many residents search for a separate “Seha” health app. Based on the verified official information available to us, the confirmed official health app in Saudi Arabia is Sehhaty. If you are looking for reliable, government-backed health services on your phone, Sehhaty is the platform to rely on. Always download health apps from official app store listings to avoid unofficial copies, and confirm current details on the Ministry of Health’s official channels.
Tips for smooth use
- Set your preferred language (Arabic or English) so notifications and menus are easy to follow.
- Link your dependents early so you can manage the whole family’s appointments from one account.
- Use the digital health wallet and report review features to keep sick leave and medical documents accessible when you need them.
- For any fees, validity periods, or service changes, confirm the latest information directly through the official Sehhaty platform, as these details are not fixed in this guide.
With everything from remote consultations to dependents’ care in one place, Sehhaty makes it far easier to stay on top of your health while living in Saudi Arabia.
