Saudi Health Minister: We Act Proactively on Health Risks

Saudi Arabia strengthens asbestos oversight and warns of chronic respiratory disease risks.

Saudi Arabia’s Cabinet approved the formation of a permanent committee to oversee matters related to asbestos and enforce its ban, aiming to mitigate long‑term health damage. The Health Minister emphasized a proactive strategy toward health risks, citing asbestos‑linked chronic respiratory diseases such as asbestosis and severe lung damage. This policy response follows prior Cabinet decisions halting asbestos use, banning its import, export, and manufacture, and aligning with World Health Organization estimates of significant global mortality from asbestos‑related lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.
