Riyadh to Host Global Health Exhibition 2025

The Global Health Exhibition 2025 (GHE 2025) is set to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from October 27 to 30, 2025. This prominent event, held at the Riyadh International Convention & Exhibition Center, will serve as a critical platform to showcase the Kingdom's significant strides in digital health transformation, a core component of its ambitious Vision 2030.

Vision 2030 Fuels Healthcare Transformation

Saudi Arabia's rapid ascent in digital health is directly linked to Vision 2030, a comprehensive plan aimed at transforming the nation's economy, society, and culture. Healthcare is a central pillar of this vision, with objectives focused on enhancing services, fostering preventive care, attracting investments, and establishing a resilient healthcare system. The Health Sector Transformation Program, a key executive program of Vision 2030, is restructuring the healthcare sector into a comprehensive, effective, and integrated system. This program prioritizes innovation, financial sustainability, disease prevention, and the expansion of e-health services and digital solutions.

Significant investments underscore this commitment, with US$1.5 billion allocated to health information technology since 2020. The Kingdom's digital health market is projected to grow from US$2.01 billion in 2023 to over US$6 billion by 2030. The Ministry of Health Digital Strategy Framework and Roadmap aims to further transform healthcare delivery through digital solutions, aligning with Vision 2030's goals.
