Healthcare workforces in Middle East
  • In Middle East 85 90 of Health Care
    Professionals are Expatriates.
  • Majority from underdeveloped countries ( cheap
    unpretentious ).
  • Increasing number of medical staff from 3rd and
    4th development countries as Egypt, India,
    Pakistan, South Africa, Philippines, Albania,
    Moldavia, Ukraine.
  • Insufficient teaching conditions at governmental
    Universities.
  • Lack of international standards Lack of control.
  • Expected annual growth of population is three
    times higher than the growth of studying places.
  • The number of Health Care Professionals per 1000
    population in Middle East to Europe and USA is
    lower 6-7 times and 3 times lower to the world
    average The gap between supply and demand will
    get bigger.
  • The expansion of Health Care Services and
    Education is becoming a top priority for the
    National Health Care Systems in Middle East
    Africa

The market players
  • Global demand for international higher education
    is estimated to increase from 1.9 million
    students in 2006 to 5.4 million students by
    2025.
  • 21 billion USD is the current volume of private
    education in Middle East North Africa.

  • USA, UK, Australia are the major competitors
    for the private education market.
  • Other players such as New Zealand, Singapore and
    Canada are also becoming more active.
  • Germany is represented on the markets with
    minimized capacities at Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan
    without German Institutions for Medical Education.

This day has changed the world....

There was also a dramatic decrease in the number
of students from Arab countries
  • The 30,000 Saudi students in 2004/2005 indicated
    again a 14 decrease the year before ( 2003 )
    the number of students decreased 16 to 2002.The
    number of students from the United Arab Emirates
    also decreased again by 7 in 2004/2005 in
    comparison to 30 in 2003/2004, with a total
    number of 1200 students. The number of Kuwaiti
    students decreased by 7 in 2004-2005, in
    comparison to 17 in 2003-2004, when there were
    1720 students. The number of Jordanian students
    decreased by 5 compared to 15 during the
    previous years. As for Egyptian students, the
    number dropped by 14 to 1575 students.
  • There are few indications that the number of Arab
    students will increase again in the United States
    and this depends on security matters. The same,
    however, applies to the American students who
    intend on traveling to the Middle East to learn
    Arabic.

    undergoing a comprehensive review in terms of
    their philosophy, objectives, laws, and
    methodologies.
  • Regarding the educational system, we have indeed
    started implementing measures to introduce
    structural changes that will modernize and update
    the educational structure, enabling it to respond
    to the requirements of the stage while
    strengthening the role of knowledge and human
    capital in economic and societal development, and
    promoting individual skills and capabilities.
  • The reforms also aim to fortify the relationship
    between the educational process and the
    developmental, security, and demographic needs,
    in order to create the appropriate atmosphere for
    producing a productive human being who is proud
    of his identity and able to give and effectively
    contribute to the making of the future.
