Dubai has 26+ hospitals and 1200 medical facilities
Abu Dhabi has 50+ hospitals and 700 medical facilities
The population will double in 10 years and mandatory
insurance will be firmly established. The demand will spike in 2-3 years and continue to grow.
TAHPI has patiently and persistently worked with both DHA and HAAD to do the capacity planning for Dubai and Abu Dhabi from 2013 to 2035.
Travel to the target Country for reconnaissance, meet colleagues, research, do your homework
Then take risks. There will be no reward for the risk-averse
Have a budget for the learning and establishment process and be
prepared to loose it all
Have a single entity, verifiable, searchable with a background and
international reputation. Don’t complicate the identity with JV’s, associations, new names etc
Have a local office with someone permanently present. They don’t
like fly-in-fly-out people. They cannot be trusted.
Leave behind any arrogance but keep your pride and confidence in
your abilities.
Australia is very popular. Capitalise on it and do not put down your
colleagues, even your competitors from Australia.
Freezone does not require local partner in business. But depending on the nature of the work, it can be restrictive.
Your company will still pay Tax back in Australia but staff moving semi-permanently to the UAE do not pay tax
Do not rely on Government hand-outs, but ask for general assistance in opening doors. State Government are also very helpful (especially NSW, and QLD)
Be prepared to tender for everything and be extremely competitive
Be prepared to lodge a tender bond and later if you win, a performance bond. Must be from a local Bank.
Tell everyone you are there forever, no matter what happens

Saudi Arabia
Mr Mohammed Kamal
The Saudi Arabian market characteristics are similar to its neighbouring countries in terms of
- Young population ( 60% of the 24 million are under 25 years ).
- Oil based economy ,
- Rapidly developing healthcare sector (increasing demand due population increase)
- Government is a major healthcare provider
Healthcare attracts the biggest annual budget allocation after Education. In 2014 , the healthcare was allocated SR 108 billion (equivalent to A$ 33 ) , 8% increase over last year’s budget.
Increasing demand
Government is encouraging the private sector to participate.
Compulsory health insurance system
The public sector’s share in health expenditure is forecasted to decline to 74% by 2015, from its current share of 77%.
Bank’s appetite towards funding long-term projects of private medical operators is rather positive. Long-term loans may
extend up to six years
Hospital design and hospital operation
Generic and non-generic medicine
Medical equipment
Education and Training
Centralised decision making process
Lengthy registration process for medicine
Lack of skilled employees
