Summary Objective The purpose of this paper is to describe the Health Informatics Master Program at King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences (KSAU-HS), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods We have reviewed health informatics master programs worldwide with more emphasis on the recommendations of the International Medical Informatics Association on education in health informatics, research, and faculty/trainee participation at KSAU-HS. Results An applied health informatics master program has been designed where graduates will be able to deploy information and communication technology in support of health systems’ processes. This is due to the fact that most of health organizations are driven by information and communication technology. The program embodies the features of effective applied health informatics master programs recommended by the International Medical Informatics Association on education in health informatics and delineated as curricula integrating three areas of knowledge and skills: 1) Methodology and technology for the processing of data, information and knowledge in medicine and healthcare, 2) Medicine, health and biosciences, and 3) Informatics/ computer science, mathematics and biometry. Conclusions The health informatics master program (MHI) immerses students in the multidisciplinary field of health informatics education. Graduates of the MHI program will be wellprepared informaticians for leadership positions, able to meet the increasing demands in the field of health informatics to manage, plan, develop, and provide expert consultations to the healthcare sectors.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in the population tested, and to evaluate the prevalence of neonatal jaundice in newborns with G6PD deficiency. Methods: Cord blood of all babies born between October 1996 and October 1998 at the Royal Commission Medical Center in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia, was screened for G6PD deficiency by fluorescent spot test. The results of screening of cord blood samples were reported to the physician in charge, and also placed on the files of the babies and their mothers. These babies were observed for 72 h and discharged if no jaundice developed. Results: During this two-year period, 2505 neonatal cord blood samples from 1278 boys and 1227 girls were screened for G6PD. There were 50 positive results for G6PD deficiency (39 boys and 11 girls), and the prevalence was estimated to be around 2%. The sex-specific prevalence for boys was 3.05%, and for girls 0.9%. Male to female ratio was 3:1. Neonatal jaundice developed in six (12%) babies, five male and one female. All were treated with phototherapy and discharged within one week of birth. Conclusion: The prevalence of G6PD is relatively high in Yanbu. Routine neonatal screening in areas with a high prevalence of G6PD in Saudi Arabia is justifiable.
