Using Sehhaty and Seha Health Apps in Saudi Arabia

Oct 21, 2026•3 min read

If you live in Saudi Arabia, the Sehhaty app is now your main digital gateway to the Ministry of Health's services. Over time, the older Seha app — along with the Mawid and Tetamman services — was merged into the unified Sehhaty platform, so today you manage most of your health needs from one place. This guide explains, step by step, how to use Sehhaty for appointments, remote consultations, prescriptions, vaccination records, medical reports, and electronic sick leaves, plus how to verify a sick leave through the Seha platform.

Who can use Sehhaty

Sehhaty is designed for everyone living in the Kingdom — Saudi citizens, residents, and their registered dependents. Once you sign in and your health file is linked, you can view and manage services for yourself and the family members associated with your account.

Immediate and remote medical consultations
Booking appointments at healthcare facilities
Viewing prescriptions and searching for medications
Accessing medical reports and vaccination records
Viewing and sharing electronic sick leaves

How to book an appointment

Booking a healthcare appointment through Sehhaty is straightforward:

Sign in to the Sehhaty app.
Open the appointments section.
Choose the service you need or select your healthcare centre.
Pick an available date and time.
Confirm the booking.

Your confirmed appointment will appear in your appointments list, where you can review the details at any time.

Managing or cancelling an appointment

Plans change, and Sehhaty lets you adjust bookings easily. Open the relevant appointment inside the app, then cancel or reschedule it wherever the service allows. Not every service supports rescheduling, so if you don't see the option, you may need to cancel and book again. It's good practice to cancel early so the slot can be offered to someone else.

Getting a remote consultation

One of Sehhaty's most useful features is speaking to an approved healthcare provider without travelling to a clinic. To start:

Open Sehhaty and choose the immediate or virtual consultation option.
Select how you'd like to communicate — text, voice, or video, where available.
Connect with an approved provider and begin your consultation.

This is helpful for quick medical questions, follow-ups, and guidance when an in-person visit isn't essential.

Viewing prescriptions, reports, and vaccination records

Your health file in Sehhaty keeps your medical records organised in one place. From there you can view current prescriptions, search for medications, and open medical reports and your vaccination record. This makes it easy to keep track of your treatments and share information with providers when needed.

Accessing an electronic sick leave

Electronic sick leaves issued to you can be accessed directly in Sehhaty:

Open your health file.
Select the medical reports section.
Find the issued sick leave, where you can view, share, or print it.

Keeping a copy handy makes it simple to pass the details to your employer or HR department.

Verifying a sick leave through the Seha platform

Employers and individuals can confirm that a sick leave is genuine using the Seha platform's verification service:

Enter the service code (the reference number on the sick leave).
Enter the patient's Saudi national ID or Iqama number.
Select the inquiry option to view the verification result.

Fees and good-to-know notes

Based on the official information available, the Sehhaty and Seha services described here carry no stated fee. No general validity period is published for appointments, consultations, prescriptions, or sick leaves, and there is no separately announced fee schedule. Because digital government services are updated regularly, always confirm the latest steps, requirements, and any charges directly in the Sehhaty app or on the official Ministry of Health channel before relying on them.
