Quality of life (QoL) is essential for maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle, especially among individuals with chronic diseases. Saudi Arabia (SA) launched a health sector transformation program as part of the nationwide Vision 2030 initiative to ensure the sustainable development of efficient healthcare services, aiming to improve health by increasing well-being and QoL. More investigation into the current status of health rehabilitation services provided to individuals with chronic diseases and future needs to optimize services and improve QoL is needed. This was narratively discussed by experts from different health rehabilitation services in SA. Comprehensive health rehabilitation services including orthopedic, occupational, cardiac, pulmonary, critical care, perioperative, hearing and speech, substance use disorders, and vocational rehabilitation services were addressed. Health rehabilitation services in SA, as in other countries, are suboptimal for individuals in health rehabilitation programs. To optimize the QoL of individuals with chronic diseases, health rehabilitation services should be tailored based on the unique requirements of each service and its serving patients. The shared need to improve health rehabilitation services includes the adoption of home-based and telehealth services, the integration of multi-governmental sectors, the empowerment and allocation of health rehabilitation specialists, public awareness campaigns, policy legislation and guideline development, and the implementation of a long-term follow-up system. This review is one of the first to address the intersection of health rehabilitation services and QoL in SA; urgent and holistic actions are paramount to address the pressing need to optimize SA's health rehabilitation services. The experts' recommendations in this study may be applicable to other countries' health systems, as health rehabilitation services are not well optimized globally.
生活质量（QoL）对于维持健康、平衡的生活方式至关重要，尤其是对于慢性病患者而言。沙特阿拉伯（SA）启动了一项卫生部门转型计划，作为全国性的2030年愿景倡议的一部分，以确保高效医疗服务的可持续发展，旨在通过提高幸福感和生活质量来改善健康状况。需要对为慢性病患者提供的健康康复服务的现状以及优化服务和提高生活质量的未来需求进行更多调查。来自沙特阿拉伯不同健康康复服务领域的专家对此进行了叙述性讨论。讨论涉及了包括骨科、职业、心脏、肺部、重症监护、围手术期、听力和言语、物质使用障碍以及职业康复服务在内的综合健康康复服务。与其他国家一样，沙特阿拉伯的健康康复服务对于参与健康康复计划的个人来说并不理想。为了优化慢性病患者的生活质量，应根据每项服务及其服务患者的独特需求来定制健康康复服务。改善健康康复服务的共同需求包括采用居家和远程医疗服务、整合多政府部门、增强健康康复专家的能力并进行人员分配、开展公众意识宣传活动、制定政策法规和指南，以及实施长期随访系统。本综述是首批探讨沙特阿拉伯健康康复服务与生活质量交叉问题的研究之一；采取紧急和全面的行动对于满足优化沙特阿拉伯健康康复服务的迫切需求至关重要。本研究中专家的建议可能适用于其他国家的卫生系统，因为全球范围内健康康复服务尚未得到充分优化。
