It analyzes the impact of Saudi Arabia's 'Vision 2030' and 'National Transformation Plan' on the healthcare sector, specifically noting the government's goal to shift funding responsibility to the private sector (from 25% to 35% by 2020) and the potential benefits for listed hospital operators like Al Hammadi and Bupa Arabia. The report highlights risks, including the fact that the Saudi government had not paid private hospitals for public patient referrals for over a year at the time of writing. The document bears a House Oversight Bates stamp.
