WebOps Global, a subsidiary of WebOps LLC, USA, and a provider of healthcare supply chain solutions, has established its first international headquarters in the United Arab Emirates.
As the country’s healthcare sector experiences increased demand as a result of rapid digital transformation, infrastructure development, a strong regulatory framework to protect patients, and advancements in patient care delivery to create a seamless healthcare ecosystem, WebOps Global will meet the sector’s growing needs in the country and beyond.
The UAE was chosen as the ideal location for WebOps to open its first international headquarters after operating in the United States for more than 15 years because it is one of the most ambitious countries in the GCC, particularly in the healthcare sector.
Commenting on the launch, Hamid Dean Refai, General Manager at WebOps Global, said: “The UAE’s growing health sector has seen a massive surge in the number of hospitals and clinics over the last few years – these require a constant supply of medical products and equipment to meet the growing patient needs. At WebOps our purpose is to have the right device at the right time for the right patient, and we are committed to improving patient care by enhancing the healthcare supply chain”.
“Our objective is to support healthcare organisations on their digital journey to automate streamlined workflows, improve service levels, lower costs, and optimize supply & inventory management,” he added.
Approximately 93 percent of hospital executives report that their inventory has experienced supply chain disruption in the last year, and the majority of them want to invest in ensuring they have the right inventory while controlling costs. This goes beyond cost control to ensure that high-quality care is not hampered by a lack of supplies, as a lack of supplies equates to cancellations or delays in care.
“In the past decade, there have been tremendous advancements across the healthcare ecosystem thanks to the visionary regional leadership that has put patients’ needs first. We’ve seen new hospitals built, innovative virtual care models, and mandatory health insurance coverage, among other things. As the healthcare sector continues to grow and mature, it is vital to limit the possibility of rising costs, and we at WebOps look forward to supporting the region by leveraging efficient supply management and automated workflows as these exciting times continue.”
