PureHealth allocates AED 13bln to local procurement over next 10 years

Abu Dhabi, UAE: PureHealth, the largest integrated healthcare platform in the Middle East, today reinforced its commitment to the National In-Country Value (ICV) Program – one of the key pillars of the national industrial strategy – by announcing a 30% increase in its 10-year commitment to local procurement, taking its total commitment to AED 13 billion by 2032. The announcement took place on the sidelines of the Make it in the Emirates Forum, which was held from 31 May to 1 June at the Abu Dhabi Energy Center.

Last year, PureHealth joined the National ICV Program following a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MoIAT). During the inaugural Make it in the Emirates Forum in 2022, PureHealth announced it would procure AED 10 billion worth of products from local suppliers, including medicines and medical products. At the second edition of the forum, PureHealth announced a further AED 3 billion for local purchases, bringing the total value of its local procurement commitments to AED 13 billion. The National ICV Program supports the growth and development of the UAE’s national industrial sector and boosting its competitiveness.
