Saudi Ministry of Interior technological advancements

The Saudi Minister of Interior, Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Nayef bin Abdulaziz, has overseen the inauguration of several high-tech facilities and digital systems aimed at advancing healthcare and security infrastructure.

In mid-October 2026, the Minister inaugurated the Prince Nayef Center for Medical Excellence and Innovation. This facility integrates artificial intelligence, digital solutions, and advanced medical technologies, such as the ‘Da Vinci 5’ robotic surgery system and an AI laboratory. The center’s development is aligned with Saudi Vision 2030, focusing on digital transformation in healthcare.

Shortly thereafter, the Minister inaugurated new command and cybersecurity centers for the Facilities Security Forces in Riyadh. This integrated command and control system connects seven specialized units to 13 regional centers and utilizes AI-equipped drones for field surveillance. To bolster digital security, a new cybersecurity center was launched to monitor vulnerabilities and protect networks. Additionally, new electronic services were introduced for personnel through the ‘Absher Interior’ application to streamline administrative procedures.
