About KAAHE (King Abdullah Arabic Health Encyclopedia)

Establishment and establishment

The Internet is being used as a source of medical and health information on a large scale by millions of people around the world. A recent scientific study in Saudi Arabia showed that only a small number of Arab health sites achieve international quality standards for health sites. This means that Arab users of the internet will not always succeed in finding reliable health information in Arabic, and may be victims of misinformation presented in forums and social networking sites.

The project was presented to His Majesty the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz, who was known for his support of humanitarian and scientific projects. The project was approved and announced during the Saudi Health Conference in May 2011. Prof. Majid Al-Tuwaijri, Scientific Agent of King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences. The Encyclopedia was officially launched on 11 March 2012 during the Saudi e-Health Conference in Riyadh.
