Fatoumata Tall, Chief Representative Officer and Export Advisor in the Gulf region, said: ‘‘Estonia’s comprehensive digital health infrastructure, with 99% of health data being digital, offers valuable areas of expertise for the GCC’s healthcare landscape. From the UAE implementing its new pharmaceutical regulations published earlier this month (January 2025), Saudi Arabia’s healthcare transformation under Vision 2030, and Qatar’s smart hospitals to Kuwait’s digital health expansion, Bahrain’s AI-driven healthcare innovations, and Oman’s tech investments, we foresee several areas of synergy with both government and private sectors. Additionally, our Estonian ecosystem demonstrates how digital transformation can successfully enhance regulatory compliance, improve healthcare delivery, and support pharmaceutical innovation across the entire health sector in line with all six Gulf countries’ digitisation initiatives and promotion of healthcare excellence, with relevant examples including e-prescriptions and integrated medical records.’’

Estonia stands out as a global leader in digital health, with the Bertelsmann Foundation’s Digital Health Index 2024 ranking it at the forefront. The Estonian Genome Centre has gathered genome data from 20% of the adult population, creating a substantial biobank that fuels personalized healthcare and prevention initiatives. With two decades of experience in implementing a national e-health infrastructure, Estonia has digitized 99% of current health data, ensuring every individual has an e-health record. This wealth of digitized health information and a strong collaborative ecosystem between public and private sectors and research institutions support innovation and advanced solutions for complex health challenges.
