Healthcare and life sciences

At a glance

The Healthcare sector in Qatar ranks the 1st in the Arab world, with the sector expected to gain prominence as medical tourism is set to be one of the major drivers of the country’s economic diversification strategy. Consequently, the healthcare industry has experienced unprecedent levels of growth and is estimated to reach $12 billion by 2024.

Furthermore, the growth of investment in the sector aligns with the human development pillar of Qatar National Vision (QNV) 2030, expressing Qatar’s ambition to develop a healthy population, physically and mentally. This was accompanied by developing and upgrading the existing healthcare services with investments in state-of-the-art healthcare infrastructures, facilities and technologies.
