The relationship will boost Tejari's presence and reach into the region's healthcare sector while assisting ArabMedicare.com's expansion of its infrastructure by promoting a proven B2B technology platform for delivering e-procurement and online buying services to the Arab healthcare market.

As part of the agreement, ArabMedicare.com will market the Tejari trading community within the healthcare industry throughout the region to such countries as Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Egypt, Oman, Morocco, Lebanon, Syria, and UAE.

“This agreement creates a unique opportunity for both the public and private healthcare sectors to access a comprehensive range of B2B e-procurement and online buying services, regional and disease-specific healthcare information, medical and industry news, market trends, conferences and meetings, and much more -- all under one roof,” said Mahatma Davis, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for ArabMedicare.com.

The B2B trading opportunities in the Arab healthcare sector are unprecedented in both size and scope. By trading through a marketplace such as Tejari, both the public and private sectors can improve their communication among suppliers and customers, obtain efficiency through the reduction of labor costs, and eliminate the manual paper-based processes in order to leverage operational performance, market share, and profitability, which ultimately raises the standards and deliver of quality healthcare to the citizens of the Arab world.

“Healthcare is a vital industry sector for Tejari, and already a significant portion of goods and services currently being traded through the marketplace are related to the medical sector. Our alliance with ArabMedicare.com facilitates further opportunities for Tejari's current members while creating a vibrant new collaboration channel for the region's medical community,” stated Sheikha Lubna Al Qasimi, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Tejari.

"The healthcare sector is one of the fastest growing industries in terms of online procurement and e-business adoption. Tejari welcomes alliances similar to this one with Arabmedicare in other vertical industry sectors, and we are actively pursuing these partnerships”, said Saif Al Mansoori, Marketing Director, Tejari.

“The Middle East's medical community utilizes some of the most advanced healthcare technology available today, but many administrative processes are still paper-based. Tejari is offering the region's medical sector a critical opportunity to reduce procurement and operational costs by trading online while accessing a wider base of suppliers and buyers,” added Al Mansoori.
