“Saudi Arabia acted, not reacted, to the pandemic…The Kingdom already provides free healthcare for all its citizens, which is an important element in a strong healthcare infrastructure, necessary to weather this pandemic. Moreover, the gender gap in the sector is minimal, ensuring that everyone has equal access to proper health care.”
-Dr. Reem bint Mansour Al-Saud, member of the Kingdom’s permanent delegation to the UN in New York, in an interview with Arab News. [arabnews.com]
