The current healthcare landscape in Saudi Arabia demands innovative solutions and partnerships
Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 privatization target to transfer 290 hospitals and 2,300 primary care centres to private operation—is less than 20% achieved as of 2025.
Public hospitals in Riyadh average 85–95% bed occupancy, among the highest in the OECD region, creating significant strain on resources.
Average emergency department wait times exceed 8–12 hours for admissions in several tertiary centres, impacting patient outcomes and satisfaction.
We strengthen partnerships, foster healthy free market growth, unlock benefits from innovation, and deliver wider social value and economic benefits.
Focusing on post-hospitalisation home care with emphasis on preventive care and integrated care networks that ensure continuity of treatment and recovery support.
We will incorporate private providers enabling “service line” privatisation, creating sustainable models for healthcare delivery that balance quality and efficiency.
Our successful public private partnership project will demonstrate improved efficiency and profitability metrics for both public and private hospitals through innovative care models.
Building a UK–Saudi healthcare education initiative focused on professional development, simulation, faculty development and knowledge exchange.
Our comprehensive approach to transforming healthcare delivery in Saudi Arabia
Our project in Riyadh aims to become part of the cluster's private contracted partner, showcasing how clusters can outsource services to achieve efficiency while maintaining quality standards.
We will work within the cluster's governance frameworks, maintaining MOH quality standards and reporting, but operating with private-sector flexibility and innovation.
Delay in care: Many of Riyadh's public hospitals routinely run at near-full capacity – for instance, Al-Iman General Hospital (south Riyadh, 407 beds) has operated at over 90% occupancy consistently for the past three years.
Increased waiting times: Prior to recent improvements, the median wait time for a bed in the ICU at Al-Iman Hospital was over 12 hours. Even top tertiary center like King Faisal Specialist Hospital in Riyadh reported that in 2023, stable patients were boarding in the ER for over 13 hours on average awaiting ward beds.
Postponed elective care: An example is how one of Riyadh's hospitals had to optimize operating room use from a mere 16% to 69% to tackle surgical waiting lists, demonstrating the systemic capacity challenges.
We are progressing collaborations with UK universities and prospective Saudi partners to co-develop healthcare education, professional development and knowledge-exchange programmes aligned with Saudi priorities.
More hospital beds open for acute cases, shorter waiting times for admissions, a more responsive healthcare system for Riyadh residents and improved patient care.
Consistency in the systems that we deploy to ensure quality and transparency.
Exploratory institutional collaboration progressing with Bournemouth University and Southampton Solent University, subject to formal university approvals.
Priority pilot areas include palliative and end-of-life care and chronic wound/tissue viability, with further programmes to be shaped around Saudi workforce priorities.
Engaging Saudi universities, healthcare organisations and appropriately accredited education providers to identify the right Saudi academic and delivery partners.
Our objective is to co-design and launch 1–2 governed pilot programmes, measure educational impact and demand, and scale only after validation.
