And the government, which funds most of the Kingdom�s healthcare capital and operating expenditures, has budgeted an additional 51 percent for healthcare and social services in 2010 – amounting to $16.3 billion.

The additional spending is largely aimed at improving the standard of healthcare services in the country and this will drive the future growth of the healthcare industry in the country.
