Greater spending on information technology will also support our outlook for digital health in Qatar. While there was no specific mention of digital health in the latest budget, the government noted that it had doubled its allocations for information technology over 2023 in an effort to increase competitiveness and diversify the local economy. This increased spending on technological innovation supports our positive outlook for the digital health growth in Qatar and signals continued commitment to the development of its digital infrastructure needed to drive uptake. Strong levels of government support have already seen Qatar make strides in its digital transformation. In 2017, the government rolled out Nabidh, its Electronic Health Record System, across the public sector and, in the same year, launched its TASMU Smart Qatar programme to support the digital transformation of multiple sectors under the National Vision 2030 plan. We expect that, underpinned by the 2030 national plan, the government will continue to invest heavily into the digital transformation of the public health sector, supported by an increase in private investment.
