Currently SCHILLINGER (BDU) handles an unusual assignment. The healthcare consultancy specializing in management and HR is active in the Gulf-Region for years and has now established an agreement with one of the leading healthcare providers in the region to fill several hundred positions for physicians in Saudi Arabia, Dubai and more Gulf neighbors.
In the coming years, the region will invest about 100 to 150 billion US-Dollars every year in healthcare. Those projects are realized partly by the government but also by private investors.
Until 2015, about 200 hospitals are being built in the GCC region including Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia and UAE which makes the Arab region an economically highly attractive region with its most modern and fastest growing healthcare industry. The level of medicine is generally world-class format and offers international top-physicians and professionals with “Western qualification” the best career opportunities.
his state-of-the-art and most modern technical medical supply in hospitals, clinics and healthcare centers in the region needs urgently qualified physicians in all fields as well as medical professionals, mainly from Europe and USA. Since most of the hospitals are managed by US-standards it might be particularly attractive for German and European physicians to learn more about those standards during an assignment in the Gulf-Region and get additional qualifications. German physicians enjoy an excellent reputation in the entire region. The period of the assignment is a matter of negotiations and can be unlimited, several years or even one year. Some hospitals even accept locums for a couple of weeks or months.
Another tempting aspect is the terms: The salaries are similar to the German’s but are more or less tax-free. In addition the employer often provides free accommodations, free medical care and other benefits. In addition the accommodations (furnished) and care of the family members are often included in the package, even including costs for education of the children. German schools are available as well. And the security standard in this region is very high.
And one more important aspect and great advantage is the high recreational value of the region with 350 sunny days with blue skies every year!
