A new report by McKinsey & Company suggests that Saudi Arabia could benefit from investing in digital healthcare, potentially unlocking up to $27 billion in efficiencies and better outcomes by 2030. The report identifies four key solutions—virtual consultations, self-care, clinical decision support, and workflow automation—that could help the country deliver billions of dollars in additional economic value. However, the report suggests that it will take a coordinated effort from healthcare providers, payers, digital-health startups, e-commerce companies, retail conglomerates, pharma companies, investors, and even telecommunications companies to realise these benefits. The government will also play a crucial role in supporting the expansion of digitisation in healthcare. Incentives will require alignment, and digital education programmes will need to be scaled up to build foundational skills among practitioners.
