How Is It Beneficial?

Talking about the initiative, it is a part of the broader effort of offering profession-specific Arabic courses. Blending classical Arabic with the Saudi dialect, it also includes cultural activities. All of this is done to support integration into the local community. In fact, this is delivered through a flexible model, which can accommodate various learning styles. With the aim of enhancing healthcare workers’ performance, the programme has now returned for its third edition.

So, basically, it will help in reducing the communication gap between the Arabic and non-Arabic speaking people in some way. And this is a great initiative as it will help the people to seek medical assistance better, and while also help the professionals understand the problems easier.

In case you are wondering, the first edition took place in 2024, during which four Riyadh-based healthcare facilities were involved, and it benefited over 150 practitioners. The second edition was completed in April when 52 participants were helped out.
