Awareness and Knowledge of the National Healthcare Transformation Program Among Public Health and Preventive Medicine Physicians in Saudi Arabia
This study shows that while public health and preventive medicine physicians are generally aware of HSTP's objectives, they have inadequate confidence in their knowledge, highlighting the need for better information dissemination. Awareness of the MOC is high, but gaps persist in understanding specific components like the "Keep Well" initiatives. The study also found that job rank and experience influence knowledge levels, suggesting the need for broader dissemination of the HSTP concepts.
