The Saudi Health Sector Fund has shown how healthcare is changing during Ramadan, breaking previous records. More than 4 million individual donations were made, with 47 charitable initiatives and 34 partnerships contributing to this generosity.

Aligned with Saudi Vision 2030, the healthcare sector is working to improve people’s health and create vibrant communities. One key program is the Healthcare Sector Transformation Program, which is driving various initiatives to achieve these goals.

A standout initiative is the Health Endowment Fund, the Kingdom’s first independent healthcare fund. It supports access to healthcare for the most vulnerable and involves the community in helping those in need through partnerships.

To ensure transparency and effectiveness, the fund is working with specialized auditing firms. It’s also partnering with financial experts to manage investments for financial sustainability.

Another important effort is the development of primary healthcare centers. This involves improving infrastructure, upgrading equipment, and using technology to enhance healthcare services and patient experiences.

These initiatives reflect the Fund’s commitment to improving healthcare across the sector and providing swift assistance to those in need. Overall, the fund aims to build a model healthcare endowment that can address health challenges effectively with the help of the community.

GAIN Summit in Riyadh to Showcase Global Experiences on AI Use in Supporting Business Leaders

The third edition of the Global AI (GAIN) Summit, organized by the Saudi Data and AI Authority (SDAIA) will be held in Riyadh on September 10-12.

The summit will showcase the global experiences in the field of artificial intelligence technologies, including those that focus on the importance of business leaders' understanding of rapidly developing AI technologies, and reflecting on how to increase production driven by strategic decision-making.

The deliberations of over 300 speakers, including experts, specialists, and decision-makers from 100 countries will present business leaders and those interested in the field of data and AI with promising options and opportunities to benefit from the technologies.

The speakers will deliberate on the most effective methods of utilizing AI to make strategic decisions, support responsible leadership, analyze the extent of the impact of AI on the growth of business activities and productivity, and motivate employees within an attractive work environment that meets the aspirations of business leaders.

The summit will underscore the importance of senior leaders and policymakers in making strategic decisions, determining the scope and directions of work, and achieving a competitive advantage for business. These decisions are guided by organizational policies, available resources, future plans, and other decisions based on AI.

According to a study by PricewaterhouseCoopers, productivity growth and improvement of manufacturing processes were five times faster when AI was used to adjust processes, identify shortcomings, and reduce waste and errors.

Predictive maintenance can also reduce downtime and speed up the pace of production, allowing the plant to increase production with the same or fewer inputs.
