Saudi Arabia Health Insurance Market Analysis

The Saudi Arabia health insurance market is being driven by the implementation of favourable government initiatives and rising health concerns in the region. Further, factors like rising disposable incomes, increased living standards, and rapid urbanisation in the region are supporting the growth of the industry in Saudi Arabia. To fulfill the demand for improved healthcare facilities at affordable cost, the government is investing heavily in restructuring the healthcare system by privatising public hospitals and introducing private health insurance schemes.
