Schneider Electric to showcase 20-year leadership in integrated hospital solutions at 2nd Patient Relations Symposium in Saudi Arabia

Held under the patronage of the Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia, the symposium will run from 24 - 25 November at the InterContinental Hotel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Set to gather ministry representatives and decision makers from the global medical sector, the Patient Relations Symposium will offer healthcare stakeholders a focused platform for discussion and knowledge-sharing on the latest developments in the region's healthcare industry.

The event will examine topics such as patient relations and management of challenges in the sector.

In its role as a Platinum sponsor, Schneider Electric will offer insight into how integrated hospital solutions can improve margins by up to 30%. Intelligent solutions such as EcoStruxure help achieve energy efficiency, mitigate risks of electrical incidents with advanced power management, reduce hospital-acquired infections with environmental controls, and secure the pulse of a hospital with integrated security solutions. This in turn leads to a reduction in operating costs and enables surplus resources to be reallocated directly to new programmes for patient services.

Mustafa AL Hafi, Healthcare Segment Manager at Schneider Electric, said, "The last edition of the Patient Relations Symposium offered significant insight into the sector to stakeholders. It provided us with an opportunity to better understand the needs of our clients and develop advanced solutions that are cost effective and deliver high quality patient service. The relevance of the event and the need to prioritize energy efficiency are factors that influenced Schneider Electric's decision to support this year's symposium."

"We will leverage our participation to showcase our strengths in the sector and display a wide array of new and improved technology for efficient healthcare management for our reputed portfolio of clientele and other international players in the sector. We are confident that global healthcare facilities will find appropriate solutions from our comprehensive offerings that can be further customized to fit their needs," he added.

As part of its participation, Schneider Electric will offer a case study of Healthcare facilities such as the Riyadh National Hospital, which has implemented power and electrical distribution solution, the Building management and Operation Room Security system to the bed head units and critical Power supply solutions all by Schneider Electric. The hospital is expected to register a marked increase in performance through providing patients with an efficient, safe and reliable environment.
