"Healthcare is a key national strategic priority as part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 initiative. The country is pushing to localize healthcare and increase privatization from 25 per cent to 35 per cent, in line with the Kingdom's ambitious Healthcare Sector Transformation Program," said His Excellency Fahad bin Abdul-Rahman Al-Jalajel, Minister of Health, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

"Through substantial Government investment and growth in the market, opportunities have opened up across vocational training, biotech, medical technologies and medical services to modernize and enhance the country's healthcare infrastructure. The Global Health Exhibition is a key part of this, bringing together the latest in healthcare innovation across the globe, and is expected to be the third most attended healthcare forum in the world."

The Global Health Exhibition will offer a critical platform for global healthcare leaders, innovators, practitioners and stakeholders to discuss and explore the latest medical advancements and cutting-edge technologies. The event presents a unique opportunity for diverse collaboration to adapt best practices and explore innovative solutions for tackling disease prevention, encouraging accessibility to the best health services, and championing radical technology-driven innovation, all with the overall aim of accelerating transformation within global healthcare and driving improved outcomes for patients.

"Global Health Exhibition in Saudi Arabia is establishing itself as one of the genuine 'must-attend' events in the global healthcare environment," said Mike Champion, Chief Executive Officer, Tahaluf, the event's organiser.

"Beyond the unique opportunities for medical professionals on-site, one of the most exciting elements of the event is bringing investors to a huge array of Saudi Arabian and international healthcare companies who are pioneering breakthrough medical technology. The Exhibition has become a central hub for deal-making and investing, and we are excited to build on the wealth of memorandums of understanding, deals and investments we saw at the 2023 event, as we grow the exhibition to become the largest of its kind in the world."

The rising demand for healthcare services in Saudi Arabia is fuelling a need for advanced medical and healthcare services, offering vast market potential for global companies. The country is focusing on adopting cutting-edge technologies such as a strategic hub for reaching other emerging markets in the region, driven by significant investments into healthcare infrastructure.
