      <abstract>
        <p>The purpose of this article is to outline the history and development of health, services, management, training, and practice in Saudi Arabia and provide suggestions for enhancement of the development of the profession. A comprehensive descriptive needs assessment was conducted retrospectively through direct observation, online websites, interviews, and a review of existing documents from government agencies. Conducting a series of studies on the type and number of candidates required in this industry is essential for shaping the structure of education in health services management.&#13;
