Saudi Health Minister seals new health research deals in Sydney.

Sydney I SA NEWS : Saudi Arabia’s Health Minister, Fahad Al-Jalajel, has capped his official visit to Australia with a high-level roundtable in Sydney, hosted by the Saudi-Australian Business Forum and attended by leaders from the health and innovation sectors.

The event was also attended by Saudi Arabia’s Consul-General in Sydney, Mashari bin Ali bin Naheet, along with an accompanying delegation.

The gathering saw the signing of a series of memoranda of understanding between Saudi Health Holding Company, the National Unified Procurement Company (NUPCO) and major Australian firms in medical diagnostics and clinical research.
