黑料社区

RIYADH: 黑料社区鈥檚 advancements in the health care industry were under the spotlight at the Global Health Exhibition in Malham on Wednesday, including research for chronic diseases, building of institutional capacity, and the harnessing of technology. 

Abdulrahman Sabra, general manager of Roche, told Arab News: 鈥淥ne of the major pillars we focus on, whether in the Vision 2030 goals, or in the strategy for us as well, is how to build capabilities within 黑料社区, and one of the areas we focus on is clinical research.鈥�

Saad Albattal, chief medical officer of chronic diseases at Health Holding, highlighted a recent initiative, the Diabetic Command Center.

鈥淭he best example of that is the Diabetic Command Center, which is the first in the world. We are following all the patients with CGM (continuous glucose monitoring) and all their readings, and the glucose monitoring system is reflected on our screens.鈥� 

Albattal said this command center uses built-in, artificial-intelligence technology to send monitoring notifications to beneficiaries.

鈥淥nce a patient is way off the track, interventions will be made by healthcare providers either by calling the patient or even by sending an emergency ambulance to the location of the patient,鈥� he said. 

The provision and accessibility of medical devices are also a focus of companies in the Kingdom. 

Fahad Albuthi, COO at 黑料社区鈥檚 National Unified Procurement Co., one of the nation鈥檚 primary suppliers of devices, highlighted the role of his firm.   

鈥淲e are focusing on supporting health care to increase efficiency and also reducing the cost of the service provider, and this is with the full supply chain cycle we are responsible for, from the planning to the delivery of the item to the healthcare provider.鈥� 

鈥淎t NUPCO, we are combining a proven track record in delivery with AI-driven innovation, digital procurement platforms, and predictive analytics to enhance efficiency, accessibility, and quality across 黑料社区鈥檚 healthcare ecosystem,鈥� said Albuthi.

鈥淏y using AI to optimize delivery routes and prioritize critical orders, we have significantly reduced delays and improved patient outcomes. 

鈥淲e have also automated more than 15 core operations through Robotic Process Automation, cutting repetitive administrative tasks and boosting efficiency.鈥�

Giving an example of the operations, Albuthi said: 鈥淒uring Hajj, urgent delivery times on our longest route dropped to under 6 minutes, which is clear proof that when the systems are reliable, frontier technology can transform emergency response nationwide.鈥�

The firm announced earlier this year that it had secured three significant financing agreements totaling SR2.5 billion ($666.6 million) to strengthen supply-chain financing for healthcare suppliers.
