Invest in Saudi Arabia - Health Sector – Medical schools

Medical Schools

Investment Description

Currently, 1,500 physicians graduate every year in Saudi Arabia and another 700 come from abroad. In addition, the government has planned to spend USD 1.6 billion to increase the number of graduates to 4,700.

However, by 2025, Saudi will require 6,000 physicians per year, creating an annual deficit of 1,300 physicians. This creates a clear opportunity to increase medical school capacity. For private investors, this means participating in the government-planned expansion (which includes building new medical schools and expanding the current universities to an average cohort size of 200 students) or directly building additional schools to address the deficit.

By 2025, Saudi will require 6,000 physicians per year, creating an annual deficit of 1,300 physicians.
