This cross sectional study attempts to provide a comprehensive description of the health status of Saudi females between the ages of 15-45 residing in Yanbu Al-siniyah. The purpose is to assess women’s needs for health services. The health status indicators are chronic tracer conditions, reported symptoms and multidimensional functioning levels. The generic functioning instrument of the medical outcome study was used to estimated physic l, social, and role functioning; degree of pain and health perceptions. The information was obtained by interviewing subjects and abstracting facts form their medical records. The results show functioning scores are in the “well health” range for physical, social, role land pain. Crowding and education have an equal or stronger effect of reducing functioning levels than the diagnosed tracer conditions. The highest prevalence conditions having a definite functional impact and diagnosed adequately in primary care are anemia ,urinary tract infection,, hemorrhoids, rheumatoid arthritis, caries and gingivitis. Reported symptoms strongly reducing function levels I this study are dyspnea, heart pain, incontinence, eye and skin problems, and joint ache. The impact of the reliability and validity of the measures used and other limitations of the results are discussed. Finally some policy implications and suggestions for future study are presented.  Supervisor : George M.
