Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, June 9, 2023 The Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia has awarded one of the Kingdom’s first public-private partnerships (PPP) in the healthcare sector to Altakassusi Alliance Medical following an open tender. The IFC supported project will help deliver better radiology and imaging services to more than one million beneficiaries across seven hospitals. It will also offer the country’s first truly collaborative network to support staff across each of the hospitals, which will greatly enhance the quality of care provided in more remote parts of the Kingdom.

Altakassusi Alliance Medical will work with more than 450 staff and will be responsible for managing patient services in the hospitals’ respective radiology and nuclear medicine departments. Through Altakassusi Alliance Medical’s 10-year capital investment plan, the PPP will improve the quality and efficiency of medical imaging services by introducing new information and technology capabilities, while helping to maintain or replace vital equipment when required. In addition, healthcare workers will be given training and development opportunities to hone their skills in line with global best practices.

The hospitals that will benefit from the PPP are as follows:

• King Fahad Medical City
• Prince Mohammed Bin Abdulaziz Hospital
• Al Dawadmi General Hospital
• Al Zulfi General Hospital
• King Khaled Hospital-Al-Majmaah
• Al Yamamah Hospital
• Al Artawiyah General Hospital

“Saudi Arabia has been actively improving healthcare by creating opportunities for the private sector aimed at creating value for patients. Altakassusi Alliance Medical is dedicated to the success of this partnership and will look to combine the best in human capital, cutting-edge innovation and state of the art information technology, supported by a dedicated command control center to deliver quality diagnostics care for citizens and residents of the Kingdom alike,” said Nart Mamser, General Manager at Altakassusi Alliance Medical.

PPPs in Saudi Arabia have been gaining traction in recent years and are viewed as a direct enabler of the country’s Vision 2030 strategy, which aims to unlock private investment across key sectors. The project will serve as a pilot for the rollout of similar PPPs nationwide.
