Saudi Healthcare Summit 2009 announced

There is, without doubt, significant scope for further development aided in no small part by the changing demographics and clinical profile of the Saudi and expatriate populations. So with all eyes turning towards the opportunities this presents, the question then becomes one of strategies for success - how can this growth be harnessed to deliver the one true objective of healthcare...better health.

The Saudi Healthcare 2009 conference has been designed to explore these challenges and to help both the clinical and non-clinical sectors of the healthcare industry chart a successful course through this period of rapid development. From insurance to IT and from Quality to strategy, the key challenges facing healthcare provision in Saudi Arabia will be confronted, analyzed and debated over two days of intensive conference and 3 additional specific workshops.

Speaking on the sidelines of a recent press conference, Event Director Jeremy Butcher addressed some of the reasons behind the launch of this brand new gathering,

"In the midst of the biggest global recession for 40 years, there are not that many bright spots around the world. The Saudi Healthcare market is one of the most important of these. The interest is phenomenal but there are still a lot of challenges to be overcome and a lot of discussion need, and that's what Saudi Healthcare 2009 is all about"

Discussions at the conference will be structured around four key themes, strategic national insights and industry trends, excellence in healthcare (management and quality), healthcare insurance and healthcare technology. The keynote opening address delves right into the core of the future of the healthcare sector with Dr Tawik Khoja, the Director General of the GCC Health Ministers Council providing policy insights and strategic direction for the future of the regional healthcare market.

The organizers have also gone to great pains to ensure that the conference features new and updated research and data. Datamonitor, the world leading provider of data, expert analysis and intuitive analysis will be revealing the results of their brand new report into the state of the Saudi healthcare industry on the first morning of the conference. The addition of brand new primary research and solid data makes Saudi Healthcare 2009 a must attend event for all professionals who's professional life relies on an understanding of the real state of the current and future markets.

There are still seats available at Saudi Healthcare 2009, being held at the Marriott Hotel, Riyadh from Saturday 31 October to 4 November 2009.
