Saudi Arabia Transforming Healthcare

Continuing a partnership with public and private entities in Saudi Arabia that is nearly a century old, GE is helping reform the Kingdom’s healthcare system, as well as the nation’s perception of health.

The Ministry of Health and GE have a strategic cooperation agreement that includes a wide range of projects, including supplying equipment for hospitals and mobile units, training Ministry officials and healthcare workers to improve service and increase capacity, and engaging the population to change the way healthcare is viewed.

Applying healthymagination through digital platforms, GE is appealing specifically to women and youth, key demographic sectors with influence in Saudi society. The Saudi-focused Arabic- and English-language healthymagination.me Web sites include healthy living tips, a Health & Wellness data visualization tool and key findings from the healthcare sector.

GE has also trained nearly 1,500 technicians and more than 100 Ministry directors across 10 regions, while implementing efficiency gains at the hospitals, so more patients can flow through operating theaters. To increase access to quality healthcare, GE is developing two mobile units in coordination with the Saudi Cancer Society and the Ministry of Health.

Through these and other initiatives, GE is helping the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia promote healthy behaviors across the country and increase access to care at a lower cost for a larger segment of its population.
