Unveiling Hidden Gems: Saudi Arabia’s Leap in Healthcare, Education, and Research
🌟 #SaudiArabia#HealthcareInnovation#EducationExcellence#saudivision2030
Reflecting on my 20-year journey in Saudi Arabia, I am continuously inspired by the nation's transformative spirit – a journey of resilience, innovation, and a deep sense of community. The recent video by Lionel Messi, produced in collaboration with Visit Saudi, offers a glimpse into this dynamic evolution, a narrative I have personally witnessed and experienced.
🚀 Beyond the Visible Transformation
While the physical metamorphosis of Saudi Arabia is evident, what often remains unseen is the remarkable advancement in sectors close to my heart – healthcare, education, and research. As a healthcare leader, I've observed first-hand the significant strides made in these areas, contributing to a robust and forward-thinking society.
🏥 Healthcare Excellence
Saudi Arabia's healthcare system, often underrepresented in global dialogues, is a beacon of high quality and innovation. The commitment to enhancing medical services and facilities has been nothing short of extraordinary, ensuring both the well-being of its residents and setting new benchmarks in healthcare excellence.
📚 Education and Research – The Foundation of Growth
Equally impressive is the nation's focus on education and research. Investing in these pillars has not only nurtured local talent but has also attracted global minds, fostering a culture of knowledge and discovery. This commitment is a critical driver in the nation's journey towards becoming a global leader in various sectors.
🤝 Connecting Cultures and Expertise
Throughout my time here, I've been privileged to forge connections with remarkable Saudi individuals – friends, professionals, and leaders who embody the nation’s spirit of continuous growth and ambition. These relationships have been instrumental in my understanding of the region's healthcare landscape and its potential.

Sharing Messi's video is not just about showcasing Saudi Arabia's physical changes; it's about highlighting its achievements in healthcare, education, and research – sectors that are crucial for sustainable, long-term growth. This is the unseen story of Saudi Arabia, one that deserves global recognition.

The Department of Health Abu Dhabi and The Authority of Social Contribution - Ma'an have joined forces to launch a groundbreaking initiative aimed at boosting research and development in the emirate's life sciences and healthcare sector. This partnership, forged during DoH's participation in Arab Health Exhibition 2024, marks a significant step towards securing a sustainable financing system for healthcare and ultimately enhancing the health and safety of communities not only in Abu Dhabi but around the world.
The initiative focuses on collecting and directing contributions for scientific research and development purposes, creating a robust ecosystem that fosters innovation and empowers researchers to tackle pressing healthcare challenges. This aligns perfectly with the mission of value based healthcare (#VBHC ), whose scientific publications serve as vital resources for public policy makers, investors, clinicians, and patients alike.
Here's how VBHC publications can contribute to the success of this initiative:
»Providing Evidence-Based Insights: rigorous peer-reviewed articles offer data-driven insights into various healthcare topics, guiding public policy decisions towards effective interventions and resource allocation.
»Supporting Investment Decisions: Investors seeking to capitalize on promising R&D opportunities can utilize VBHC publications to identify potential areas of impact and gauge the feasibility of research projects.
»Informing Clinical Practice: Clinicians making critical decisions for their patients can leverage VBHC publications to stay abreast of the latest research findings and evidence-based practices.
»Empowering Patients: By disseminating clear and reliable information, VBHC publications can empower patients to make informed decisions about their own health and participate actively in healthcare research.
This partnership between DoH and Ma'an holds immense potential to transform Abu Dhabi into a hub for medical innovation. VBHC scientific publications, with their commitment to rigorous scholarship and accessibility, are poised to play a crucial role in supporting public policy making, investment decisions, clinical practice, and patient empowerment.

For me, Arab Health Exhibition is not just about connecting with current and potential partners, it is also about learning more about the region, and I was lucky to attend a session hosted by the Department for Business and Trade and Healthcare UK about healthcare education and training opportunities in Saudi Arabia.
My key learnings from the session were:
▶️ We need to recognise that as life progresses we have to identify different approaches to learning
▶️ What we learn needs to change to take into account the global context of disease burden and prevention
▶️ We shouldn't undermine the power of technology to help us to teach and learn differently and more effectively
▶️ Global partnerships will help maximise the approach to healthcare education delivery
At Guy's and St Thomas' Consulting we are keen to work out how our existing approach to medical education can help advance healthcare globally, and in particular where the opportunities are for partnering in the Kingdom to collaboratively develop a new approach to learning.

✈️ As the Vita team heads to the Arab Health Exhibition next week, it’s impossible not to think about the incredible pace of healthcare innovation in the Middle East. Yet, there’s a flip side to this progress – a skills gap that needs bridging, and the ever-present challenge of brain drain.
👨⚕️ Addressing the Skill Gap
With medical tourism flourishing, the demand for skilled healthcare professionals is at an all-time high. The region is taking significant strides to close this gap, recognizing the need to develop a robust strategy to enhance the capabilities of healthcare workers. Investments in local education and training programs are crucial to counter the predicted global shortage of 18 million healthcare workers by 2030.
📍Combating Brain Drain
Efforts to retain local talent are intensifying. Initiatives like Saudi Arabia's Health Sector Transformation Program aim to incentivise nationals to pursue healthcare careers, while the UAE's golden visas exemplify the strategic efforts to attract and retain the best minds while fostering a competitive and innovative healthcare environment.
🤝Fostering Sustainable Healthcare
The Middle East is embedding advanced technologies like AI and telemedicine into the healthcare system, setting the stage for sustainable development that caters to the unique needs of its population.
👩🏫 Empowering Local Talent with Education
At the heart of this transformation is the commitment to education, which is pivotal in nurturing local talent and bridging the existing skill gap. Sustainable healthcare development hinges on a well-trained workforce. By enhancing medical and nursing curricula and expanding the number of medical schools, such as Saudi Arabia's plan to increase its medical schools significantly, the Middle East is laying the groundwork for a new generation of healthcare professionals.
👋 See you at Arab Health! Let’s chat about the future of the healthcare workforce and how Vita's educational services are aligning with the Middle East's vision to nurture a new generation of healthcare professionals.

We’re thrilled to share that our Founder and MD, Ben Kershaw, featured in Fortune Magazine spotlighting how MENA is on the rise as a Global Health Hub!
The MENA region, with Dubai and Saudi Arabia at the forefront, is bustling, evolving rapidly into a beacon for global health. Dubai, an already glamorous retreat of luxury and travel, has elevated its global charm by emerging as the prime medical destination in the Arab world, as noted by Medical Travel Market. Specializing in a spectrum of intricate cosmetic, dental, and fertility treatments, the emirate attracts a diverse patient demographic, mainly from Asia, neighboring Arab countries, and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
A recent report by the Dubai Health Authority (2023) reveals that 39% are from Asian countries, 22% from Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States, and 21% from Arab and GCC countries.
Not to be outdone, Saudi Arabia is sculpting its unique presence in the healthcare sector. The Kingdom has rolled out ambitious visions, committing a whopping $66 billion to revitalize healthcare infrastructure over the next 5 years! This substantial investment is designed to elevate the private sector's contribution to healthcare from the existing 25% to a striking 35% by 2030, harmonizing with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030.
Exciting times ahead in the healthcare world, and we’re all in for this healthy journey! 🌍💼

Saudi Arabia's median age is just shy of 31, and 63 per cent of its population is under 30. This suggests that the kingdom’s workforce is poised for a huge tranche of young talent. As the Saudi economy aims to pivot away from its traditional oil-centric foundation, the healthcare sector surfaces as an ideal environment for professional growth and robust economic outcomes.
The future of healthcare careers in Saudi Arabia lies in the intersection of technology and healthcare expertise. As the country strives to achieve its Vision 2030 goals, there is a pressing need to empower the youth and prepare them for tech-driven healthcare roles. By investing in education, promoting digital literacy, providing mentorship, and creating a supportive work environment, healthcare companies can enable young professionals to thrive in this rapidly evolving sector.
