Macro health policies focus on global or national concerns about people's health needs across entire populations rather than details of implementation. Micro policies have a narrower scope and affect specific sectors, organizations, or processes to guide behaviors within those areas. Public health policies in Saudi Arabia aim to improve population health and can be found on the country's Ministry of Health website, which provides information on their various policies.

6. TYPES OF HEALTH POLICIES:
• Macro-policy: includes global health policy which ‘‘implies consideration of the
people’s health needs of the whole planet above the concerns of particular nations’’ .
Global and national policies focus on what the policy is all about and sometimes
leave out details of how government offices or healthcare facilities should implement
the policy (the procedure).
• Micro health policies: are usually developed in relation to macro health policies. In
terms of scope, macro-policies have a larger impact than micro policies. Micro-
policies affect a particular sector, organization, service or process . micro-policy is a
broad guide for organizational members to observe in their behaviors or performance
of their management or operational responsibilities
