Global healthcare staffing firm, Medacs Healthcare plans to recruit over 1,000 healthcare professionals including Doctors, Nurses, and Lab Technicians, for Saudi Arabia by the end of 2025.

To recruit skilled doctors and nurses for Saudi hospitals, Medacs is organising hiring events across Europe and Australia. Recently, the firm successfully placed hundreds of healthcare workers from London in hospitals across Riyadh, Jeddah, and Taif, helping to meet Saudi Arabia’s growing need for international talent. 

Rebecca Watson, CEO of Medacs Global Group, shared her pride in the company’s efforts, “We are incredibly proud of our global reach and local expertise that allow us to support Saudi Arabia’s healthcare transformation. With Vision 2030, the Kingdom is reimagining how healthcare is delivered, and to meet these ambitious goals, they’ll need thousands of skilled workers.”

Every year, the healthcare staffing firm recruits around 8,000 healthcare workers across the Middle East, the UK, Ireland, and Australasia. Even during the global pandemic, when the healthcare system was stretched thin worldwide, the firm managed to recruit about 9,000 laboratory specialists to help the UK Department of Health and Care meet the urgent need for virus testing.

While the Saudization plan aims to fill 60 per cent of positions with Saudi nationals, a recent report by Colliers International highlighted that by 2030, the Kingdom will need more than 175,000 healthcare professionals, including doctors and nurses. By building a pipeline of qualified and pre-assessed healthcare professionals, the healthcare staffing firm aims to address this gap in the region and keep up with the rising demand for talent.
