Dear all,
I would like to understand which companies have a strong Healthcare practice in the GCC (KSA & UAE mainly). Does anyone have any kind of insight on this?
Thanks!
Dear Laure,
As an expert in the Middle East region I need to pop out that in general there is not so much healthcare industry in the Middle East, whether it's KSA, UAE or other. Therefore healcare practices are not really very strong in that particular region in non of the companies. Since the number of projects is very limited.
However, there are these healthcare practices are represented in the following companies like McKinsey, Oliver Wyman and Kearney. But if you want to do a healthcare, I would rather suggestto chancge the region and go either to South Eastern Asia in Singapore, or to Europe in English speaking location or US.
If you need any further help or insights on Middle East or how to get into consulting to the top companies, drop me a line, I'm happy to get you there.
Best,
André
