The Ministry of Health (MOH) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and IHME have partnered to develop a world-class integrated surveillance and burden of disease monitoring system. This system is unique in the region and can be a model for other countries. Through this collaboration, IHME and the MOH designed and implemented a baseline household survey, the Saudi Health Interview Survey, to gather data related to select burden of disease and risk factors at the national level.
