Sehhaty App 2026: Complete Guide — Appointments, Prescriptions, Health Record
Guide to the Sehhaty app — health-centre registration, appointment booking, e-prescriptions, vaccination certificates, unified medical record, and insurance verification.
Sehhaty is the official digital gateway to the Saudi Ministry of Health, connecting citizens and residents to the full health system: from primary-care centre to hospital, from prescription to pharmacy. Official URL: sehhaty.sa or the "Sehhaty" mobile app on iOS/Android.
Sehhaty was launched in August 2019, and in January 2022 the Ministry of Health merged the standalone "Mawid" (appointments) and "Tabaud" (COVID tracing) apps into Sehhaty, making it the unified gateway for digital health services.

Booking a health-centre appointment
Rest assured you no longer walk in for a number:
- From Home, choose "Appointments" → "New Booking."
- Select your registered centre (or search another).
- Choose the specialty (general, family, paediatrics, dentistry, etc.).
- Available days and times appear — pick what suits you.
- Confirm — booking number and QR code appear in the app.
- Go at appointment time and show the QR at reception.
E-prescription and medication
After your doctor's visit, the prescription is written digitally and delivered in the app:
- Dispense from a government pharmacy: free for citizens. Go to any government pharmacy or major centre and show the prescription code.
- Dispense from a partner private pharmacy: per your insurance cover. As long as insurance includes the medication, it's dispensed without payment.
- Rare medications: may need scheduled pickup or referral to a specialty hospital.
Note: an electronic Wasfaty prescription is valid for 7 days from issuance (source — Wasfaty patient FAQ). If expired, you need a new visit.
Vaccination certificates
A common service before travel or child school enrolment:
- Routine child vaccinations: appear automatically after each dose.
- Official travel certificate: printable PDF with e-seal, recognised in most countries.
- Yellow fever vaccination: for travellers to Africa and South America — issued with the international certificate.
- Hajj vaccination: mandatory for pilgrims (Meningitis, Influenza).
Unified medical record
Every visit, test, scan, and diagnosis at any government facility is recorded in your file:
- Medical history.
- Current and past medications.
- Allergies (critical in emergencies).
- Chronic conditions.
- Latest test results.
This record is shared with the doctor at every visit — no need to re-explain.
Health insurance and private sector
- If you're insured through employment: the app shows your insurer, approved providers, and cover limits.
- Private hospital care: needs pre-approval for some cases; visible in the app.
- Emergency: usually dispensed without prior approval.
For your insurance company details: the "Insurance" section in the app.
Common mistakes
- Care centre far from your home: complicates appointments. Update it to the nearest in Sehhaty settings.
- Notifications off: you miss appointments. Enable in phone settings.
- Old mobile number: blocks OTP for prescriptions. Update in Absher first, then Sehhaty.
- Walk-in without a booking number: may not be served during full appointment slots.
- Repeated no-shows: repeated absence may temporarily restrict your ability to book, per the health centre's policy.
How Sehhaty relates to other Ministry of Health apps
In January 2022, the Ministry of Health merged several standalone apps into Sehhaty:
| Former app | Function | Current status |
|---|---|---|
| Mawid | Government hospital appointment booking | Merged into Sehhaty |
| Tabaud | COVID tracing and contact | Merged into Sehhaty |
| Wasfaty | Electronic prescriptions | Runs at wasfaty.sa and surfaces inside Sehhaty |
