This has led governments and organizations in the healthcare sector to seek innovative and technologically advanced solutions to create effective and easy healthcare access for all.

Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), ensuring a healthy lifestyle for its people is a key priority for the Saudi Government under the ambit of its ambitious Vision 2030 and the National Transformation Program.

The Kingdom’s Health Sector Transformation Program emphasizes continuous development of the healthcare system and enhanced quality of care and services provided. Established to contribute to the realization of the “Vibrant Society”, one of the main pillars of the Kingdom’s Vision, the program seeks to restructure the health sector, and enhance its capabilities as an effective, integrated ecosystem that ensures the best care for the Kingdom’s citizens and residents.

The Program commenced implementation strategically with the digitization of patient records and connecting all healthcare sector entities and organizations into a centralized, highly effective network to enable timely health consultation, care, and counseling for patients regardless of their location. The more centralized healthcare system has also led to better diagnostics, coordination, and overall care across public and private health institutions. 

The program also saw the launch of Seha Virtual Hospital (SVH). A hospital that provides telehealth services to empower health consultants and practitioners in even the micro and rare specialties through the latest medical technologies. The world’s largest virtual hospital supports 130 hospitals around the Kingdom providing 30 specialized virtual services and has facilitated several telesurgeries ever since its inception. It enables surgeons to benefit from their more experienced colleagues on a global level and receive the support they need to achieve success.

EMA constantly strives to enhance the Kingdom's healthcare sector by empowering and equipping healthcare providers with advanced capabilities and resources. The company leverages its network of leading international partners to provide its clients with the latest medical technology and integrated systems, thus ensuring the highest levels of patient care and quality services.

EMA has established a dedicated Public Private Partnerships (PPP) Department which is crucial to enhance the company’s contribution to the region's development and Vision 2030. The department is dedicated to collaborating with the public health sector and government ministries.

The company has also signed a frame agreement with the National Unified Procurement Company "NUPCO" in collaboration with Government Expenditure & Projects Efficiency Authority and Local Content and Government Procurement Authority. The agreement allows EMA to be the provider of diagnostic imaging equipment for government health centers and hospitals. EMA has also stepped up its collaboration with the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Defense.

The EMA goals for the healthcare sector are aligned with the Kingdom’s Vision and seek to continuously position the company as a catalyst for change, and the Kingdom as a regional and global leader in healthcare.
