Burjeel Holdings Unveils Revolutionary Healthcare Solutions at Global Health Exhibition 2024
In a groundbreaking move, Burjeel Holdings, a dominant super-specialty healthcare provider in the MENA region, introduced two innovative healthcare solutions at the prestigious Global Health Exhibition 2024.
With a strategic focus on expanding its footprint in Saudi Arabia, the group unveiled Alkalma, a cutting-edge mental health and well-being platform, and Burjeel One, a specialized network of day surgery centers. These pioneering initiatives are in line with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and are poised to transform the healthcare landscape in the region.
Founder and Chairman of Burjeel Holdings, Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil, provided a comprehensive briefing to Saudi Health Minister Fahad Al-Jalajel on the revolutionary new initiatives showcased at the Global Health Exhibition.
Alkalma, a result of a strategic joint venture between Burjeel Holdings and Colombia-based healthcare leader Keralty, heralds a new era in mental health services. By integrating value-based care with specialized primary centers and health risk management, Alkalma is making its debut in Saudi Arabia with an ambitious objective of reaching nearly 30 million patients across the MENA region over the next decade. The platform aims to enhance preventive care, manage health risks, and reduce hospitalizations, all while providing a comprehensive care ecosystem.
Burjeel One, a specialized network of day surgery centers, was also unveiled at the exhibition to address the growing demand for high-quality same-day medical services. These centers will offer minimally invasive procedures across key specialties such as oncology, advanced gynecology, orthopedics, and neurology. Incorporating advanced robotics and cutting-edge technologies, the first two Burjeel One centers, scheduled to open in Riyadh by 2025, will ensure that patients receive top-notch care without the need for prolonged hospital stays.
Visitors at the exhibition gained valuable insights into how Alkalma and Burjeel One are contributing to the Kingdom’s transition towards a comprehensive healthcare model.
“The launch of Alkalma and Burjeel One underscores our unwavering commitment to revolutionizing healthcare in the region through the integration of advanced technologies and value-based care models. These initiatives cater to the escalating demand for accessible mental health services and specialized ambulatory care, all while aligning with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030,” stated John Sunil, CEO of Burjeel Holdings.
The introduction of Alkalma and Burjeel One builds on the success of PhysioTherabia, Saudi Arabia’s largest and fastest-growing physiotherapy network, which has expanded to 28 centers since its launch in 2023. These new services will further enhance the network, offering integrated care from mental health to specialized surgery and rehabilitation.
Under the theme ‘Making Space for Innovation,’ Burjeel Holdings demonstrated its dedication to advancing healthcare at the Global Health Exhibition. Attendees had the opportunity to witness live demonstrations of advanced physiotherapy equipment, while Burjeel showcased its expertise in complex care across specialties like fetal medicine, orthopedics, oncology, pediatrics, and cardiovascular care.
During their visit to Burjeel’s booth, esteemed guests such as Dr. Majid Al-Fayyadh, CEO of King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre; Dr. Mohammed Al-Abd Al-Aali, Assistant Minister of Health; Dr. Ibrahim Alomar, Assistant Deputy Minister for Health Investment and Private Sector Participation (PSP), Ministry of Health; Dr. Khaled Alabdulkareem, Assistant Deputy Minister for Primary Health Care, Ministry of Health; and Dr. Shabab Al Ghamdi, General Secretary of CCHI, were introduced to the exciting new brands that the Group is launching in the Kingdom.
