Overcoming the Healthcare Recruitment Gap in KSA with EVA-MED’s Healthcare ATS

The healthcare industry in Saudi Arabia is on the cusp of a transformational era, with exponential growth being witnessed across various facets of the industry.
According to Arabian Business, as part of its Vision 2030, the Kingdom has set forth plans to allocate a staggering $66 billion toward healthcare infrastructure over the course of the next seven years.

However, this growth has presented a daunting challenge of attracting and retaining skilled healthcare professionals, with a current deficit of 20,000 physicians and 30,000 nurses in the country. This shortage is further intensified by the absence of efficient recruitment systems, which results in prolonged and expensive hiring processes for healthcare organizations.

To overcome this challenge, EVA-MED has introduced a healthcare ATS that streamlines the recruitment process and significantly reduces the time and cost associated with hiring healthcare professionals. EVA-MED’s ATS is designed exclusively for the healthcare industry to facilitate medical recruitment and address the healthcare recruiting gap in the Kingdom and beyond.

This technology is a significant breakthrough for healthcare organizations in Saudi Arabia, as it not only addresses the shortage of healthcare professionals but also enhances the quality of healthcare services provided to the people of Saudi Arabia through the hiring of elite healthcare teams.

Exploring the Remarkable Growth of the Healthcare Industry in Saudi Arabia: Key Statistics and Trends

The healthcare market in Saudi Arabia is poised for a substantial growth trajectory, as per a report by ResearchAndMarkets. The report indicates that the healthcare market in the country is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5% between 2020 and 2025. The growth is attributed to a multitude of factors, including an increasing demand for healthcare services, rising healthcare expenditure, and the government’s commitment to enhancing the quality of healthcare services in the country.

Furthermore, the Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia has projected that the number of hospitals in the country will increase from 490 in 2020 to 650 by 2030. This exponential expansion is expected to create a wealth of employment opportunities for healthcare professionals in the country. With the demand for healthcare services on the rise and an increasing number of hospitals set to be constructed, the need for highly skilled healthcare professionals has become more critical than ever before.

However, despite the projected increase in job opportunities in the healthcare sector, the challenge of recruiting and retaining skilled healthcare professionals remains significant. The shortage of 20,000 physicians and 30,000 nursing shortages in Saudi Arabia further complicates the situation, necessitating a more efficient and effective recruitment process. EVA-MED’s innovative healthcare ATS is designed to address this issue by streamlining the entire recruitment process for medical groups, empowering them to establish a dependable healthcare team, therefore elevating patient care standards throughout the Kingdom – and ultimately improving the quality of healthcare services provided.

Demand and Shortage of Nurses, Paramedics, Physicians

The shortage of healthcare workers like nurses, paramedics, and physicians in Saudi Arabia has grown significantly over the past few years. The Kingdom is projected to generate around 90,000 new jobs by 2030. However, the current shortage of skilled workers in the industry is a major concern.

The shortage is not limited to one particular field but encompasses nurses, paramedics, and physicians. According to Arab News, KSA will require an additional 30,000 doctors by 2030 to meet their innovative vision. This shortage is exacerbated by the aging population in Saudi Arabia, which has put additional pressure on the existing healthcare workforce. As the population ages, the demand for healthcare services has increased significantly, requiring additional healthcare professionals. However, the supply of healthcare professionals has not kept pace with the growing demand, leading to a significant shortage of skilled workers in the industry.

Healthcare facilities in the country are struggling to find and retain the right talent to meet the needs of the growing population. The shortage of skilled workers in the industry impacts the quality of healthcare services provided to the people of the Kingdom.
