It also looks in detail at the firm\u2019s collaborative projects with the governments of Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which enabled them to continue delivering their health care provision through&nbsp;telehealth consultations and Covid-19 information hotlines, alongside other services,&nbsp;in a challenging environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jalil Allabadi, Founder and CEO, Altibbi,&nbsp;said that having enabled governments to provide essential health information and medical services remotely when Covid-19 arrived, new technologies were now expected to play an even greater role in post-pandemic health care, driven forward by changing demographics, rising levels of internet use and pressure on current systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cApproximately 400m people in the Arab world are still without access to essential medical services, while&nbsp;the proportion of the MENA population aged&nbsp;over 65 is rising. At the same time, an estimated 70% of doctor visits are considered to be unnecessary,\u201d&nbsp;he said. \u201cTechnological tools in various forms, ranging from telemedicine to apps, will play a critical part in meeting demand for health information and medical care, at a time when governments are keeping a close eye on their budgets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Karine Loehman, OBG\u2019s Managing Director for Africa,&nbsp;said that unlike key areas of the global economy, technology-enabled health services had performed strongly during the pandemic, with health-tech companies able to tap into the disruption to doing business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe outlook for the sector is bright, with industry players already focused on developing solutions that will help to fill vacuums in quality and infrastructure,\u201d&nbsp;he said.&nbsp;\u201cFrom a regional perspective, all four study countries are expected to exhibit strong GDP per capita growth going forward, pointing to promising prospects for higher purchasing power and telehealth spending.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CRR on the MENA region forms part of a series of tailored reports which the global research and advisory company is currently producing with its partners, alongside other highly relevant, go-to research tools, including a range of country-specific Covid-19 Economic Impact Assessment articles and interviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CRR is now available to view and download at:\u00a0<a
