In order to improve UAE’s health industry, the Bridge Medical GPO inked a Memorandum of Understanding with JAGGAER at GITEX to focus on applying industry-best procurement practices.
JAGGAER will provide a SaaS-based source-to-pay solution designed to automate routine processes with the help of machine learning, enabling global procurement teams to create even more value in the short and long term, according to the new partnership, which was officially announced at GITEX.
Darren Martin, Director of Commercial and Group Operations, said: “Powerful Procurement Partners is our value proposition and represents who we are and our promise to our members. We are excited to be signing this MOU today with JAGGAER and working together with Dubai Smart Government to deliver the Vision of H. H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.”
Hany Mosbeh, Vice President of Sales Middle East & Africa, JAGGAER, said: “We are delighted to partner with Bridge Medical GPO to help them deliver this unique and innovative service in the Middle East. JAGGAER is committed to focusing on utilizing the latest technology and innovation to support organizational procurement goals and this dovetails extremely well with Bridge Medical GPO who has built an excellent business model focused on optimizing supply chain costs within the healthcare industry.”
Jim Counts, President and CEO of Bridge Medical GPO, concluded, “Speed to value is fundamentally what we deliver for our members; bottom-line improvement to hospital profitability is our guarantee.”
The first Healthcare Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) to launch in the UAE is Bridge Medical GPO. The corporation has now laid out a strategy that will focus on improving performance across the UAE’s healthcare industry. This would entail applying industry-best procurement practices and optimizing supply chains to give enhanced commercial benefits to regional hospitals, distributors, and providers.
JAGGAER was selected ahead of 10 other software platforms thanks to its global best practices and ability to meet the needs of Bridge Medical GPO and its customers. JAGGAER supports over 120 healthcare organizations around the world by helping them to modernize and transform their procurement capabilities and drive their industry forward.
