The Saudi government always ensures and takes measures to preserve public health and safeguard citizens from the global pandemic. Covid took the world by storm.
Vaccine drives, PCR tests, and booster shots were conducted throughout the world to detect the alarming infection rate. In response, Saudi Data, in collaboration with the Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA), launched the Tawakkalna App.
What is Tawakkalna App
An app that helps Saudi citizens and residents navigate the pandemic in their everyday lives and confirms their COVID-19 credentials is the Tawakkalna Application.
This app permits your health condition to be shown publicly and provides medical news about transmission and preventative measures for the illness. In easy words, this is your COVID-19 identification card and functions as a COVID-19 health passport.
Saudi Tawakkalna App has won the 2022 UN Public Service Award, another feather in its cape.
