Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Health Embraces Multi-Cloud Approach to Boost Healthcare Services - Tahawul Tech

Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Health (MoH) has deployed multi-cloud solutions from VMware to digitally transform the country's public healthcare sector. The MoH can now offer secure, cloud-based services to public healthcare providers including hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies, significantly boosting their efficiency and enabling them to grow and innovate.

MoH is responsible for the country's public healthcare service which caters for a growing population of more than 35 million people. MoH accelerated the transformation of its IT systems with the onset of COVID-19 which had put added strain on healthcare systems and increased the need for robust applications, such as booking platforms for vaccinations and remote access to patient records.

MoH simplified its IT infrastructure by deploying VMware Cloud Foundation as the unifying platform for its cloud environment, spreading workloads across the clouds of service providers including STC and Mobily.

"The Ministry of Health seeks to achieve the highest levels of excellence in healthcare in line with the aims of Saudi Vision 2030. This means having the best multi-cloud foundation to optimise operations, raise efficiency and drive innovation across the country's healthcare providers", said Eng. Khalid Almedbel, CIO, Ministry of Health. "Thanks to our digital transformation with VMware, all public healthcare providers will have access to best-in-class cloud services that will improve operations and boost healthcare provision for citizens and residents".

With VMware Cloud Foundation, MoH benefits from a complete set of highly secure software-defined services for compute, storage, network, security, Kubernetes and cloud management. When the solution is fully deployed, Saudi Arabia's public healthcare system will benefit from the resiliency, agility and efficiency afforded by the shared cloud platform. Each healthcare facility will have access to virtual infrastructure and 'as-a-service' applications and will also be able to design and deploy applications from the cloud, giving them the freedom to innovate and provide world-class services to patients.

Saif Mashat, Saudi Arabia country director, VMware, said: "The Ministry of Health's transformation with VMware shows the power of multi-cloud to re-invent healthcare with highly efficient use of resources, and unleash new levels of agility and innovation. We look forward to working in partnership with the MoH as it continues to move workloads to the new environment and offer more cloud-enabled services to healthcare providers across the country".

In the coming months, the MoH is planning to deploy more VMware solutions including VMware Carbon Black for additional cybersecurity, VMware Workspace One for secure distributed working, and Tanzu to enable Kubernetes in vSphere, which will bring additional application development capabilities to the Saudi Arabia's public healthcare providers.
