Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Health signs collaboration agreement with Efficio
Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Health has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Efficio, aimed at jointly advancing supply chain, procurement, and local content excellence in Saudi Arabia’s healthcare sector.
Signed on the sidelines of the eighth edition of the Global Health Exhibition 2025, the collaboration agreement is part of the ministry’s efforts to advance the objectives of the Health Sector Transformation Program, one of the key initiatives of Saudi Vision 2030.
The Healthcare Sector Transformation Program aims to transform the Kingdom’s healthcare system to be more comprehensive, effective, and integrated. Key pillars include improving access to healthcare, innovation, financial sustainability, and disease prevention. It also focuses on expanding e-health services and digital solutions, improving the quality of care, and adhering to international standards.
Working together with Efficio, the ministry will professionalise its supply chain and procurement operations across the value chain – functions that are essential to ensuring the logistical side of healthcare runs smoothly. The consulting firm, recognised as a leader in both domains, will also support the ministry in advancing its local content objectives.
Local content refers to the extent to which goods, services, workforce, and technologies used within the healthcare system are sourced, produced, or delivered locally within Saudi Arabia rather than imported. Driving local content is a key pillar of Saudi Arabia’s economic diversification mandate.
Commenting on the collaboration, Efficio stated: “This embodies our continued commitment to supporting Saudi Vision 2030 ambitions for greater efficiency, innovation, and sustainable value creation. We look forward to collaborating with the Ministry of Health to help deliver long-term impact for the Kingdom’s healthcare system and the people it serves.”
Other recent memorandums of understanding were signed with King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital and Research Center, Alinma Bank, King Saud University, and global healthcare technology company Abbott.
