Health Industries

Enabling our clients across the Middle East to solve their most complex problems by delivering differentiated insights and experience using digital innovation and operational solutions.

The New Health Economy

Disruptive technology and scientific breakthroughs offer endless opportunities for the growing healthcare sector. However, this sector is still facing a number of challenges such as rising costs, the move towards value-based care, and an increase in chronic conditions. Tied in with more informed and connected consumers and the rapid move towards digitisation, the health sector in our region is undergoing major transformation to deliver person-centred care, with better health outcomes at more affordable, sustainable costs.

The recent pandemic and possibility of future epidemics have challenged healthcare organisations to build more resilient and sustainable models, creating opportunities for new models of care, embracing digital innovations, exploration of new funding models and in general a closer collaboration across the public and private sectors.

At PwC, we work side by side with our clients to guide and prompt them on their transformation journey to adapt to the New Normal by bringing deep sector insights and our expertise across all aspects of healthcare, and the power of our Global PwC network and partners. Underpinning all our work in health is our sense of purpose and appreciation for the privilege to help shape this vital sector. We pride ourselves on our people and our teams and are always working towards our overall vision of improving healthcare, for the greater good of society.
