The second Kingdom Healthcare Summit, which promises to be bigger and better, will gather influential international and regional decision makers, government representatives, investors and solution providers from the private and public sectors to discuss and decide on the future of health care.
The two-day summit will be attended by over 200 representatives from leading private hospitals, government institutions, international medical firms as well as primary health care academia.
“Saudi Arabia represents the biggest health-care market in the Middle East. As the demand for health services and medical products increases exponentially, the country needs to be able to meet these demands,” said Fabien Faure, group managing director of naseba.
“The Kingdom Healthcare Summit will bring forth these challenges and many more, such as meeting the medical needs of an increased number of patients as well as providing the older generation with international standard health-care facilities. Together with the Ministry of Health, the summit will bring together an array of speakers to help overcome these obstacles.”
