This strategic move aims to drive progress and transformation in Saudi Arabia’s healthcare sector and adopt innovative approaches to addressing the evolving healthcare needs across the region.
It comes as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia restructures its health sector under the Health Sector Transformation Program, part of the kingdom’s Vision 2030.
Commenting on Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, Mohammad El Khoury stated: “Saudi Arabia is pivoting to a future-ready healthcare ecosystem where it aims to leverage technologies to maximize efficiencies and enhance precision health initiatives that address critical patient and clinical challenges.”

In particular, the company is presenting its cutting-edge innovations in precision care to the largest gathering of healthcare professionals in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The company intends to shed light on the role its cutting-edge innovations in precision care play in reducing the burden on the kingdom’s healthcare system.
As one of the fastest-growing digital health markets, health technology has become critical to meet the kingdom’s goals of digitalizing 70% of patient activities by 2030.
GE HealthCare’s advanced digital solutions will be pivotal in fulfilling the Saudi Government’s vision of creating an efficient, integrated, and patient-centered ecosystem that is on par with the best healthcare systems in the world.
