Kamil Al Jawhari, Exhibition Manager at REC, said: “We are looking forward to this year’s edition of Saudi Health Exhibition and Conference, which is expected to drive in more growth for the Kingdom’s healthcare sector. For the first time since 2011, a fiscal deficit is projected based on revenues of SAR 715 billion and expenditures of SAR 860 billion. The education and healthcare sectors accounted for 43.8 per cent of the total government spending in 2014, demonstrating that they remain among the Kingdom’s main focus.[1] We constantly seek to contribute to the government’s programs to enhance the healthcare sector by organizing exhibitions that are relevant to the industry’s advancement.” The high-level event comes amidst the Ministry of Health’s substantial budget allocations over the past years for the sector’s improvement and development. The Ministry earmarked an estimated SAR 40.43 billion in 2009, almost SAR 61.2 billion in 2010, and about SAR 68.7 billion in 2011. The sector’s healthcare and social development segments received the largest allocations at 48 per cent increase year-on-year up to 2015. The demand for hospital beds in Saudi Arabia is also expected to rise to 70,000 by 2016. Five medical cities and 132 hospitals are currently under construction across the Kingdom. The Saudi Arabia healthcare market is worth SAR108.59bn (US$28.99bn) According to Simon Page, Managing Director, Informa Life Sciences Exhibitions: The 2015 Saudi Health Conferences once again offer a CME-accredited conference programme that will enhance the development of the skills of the healthcare workforce within the Kingdom.
