According to a report by Alpen Capital, due to the insufficient amount of local healthcare practitioners and skilled staff in the Middle East, especially the GCC, the region is heavily reliant on foreign professionals to meet the rising demand. There is a dominance of expat community in both nursing and physician fields. This provides an optimistic outlook for job seekers from across the Asian subcontinent interested in relocating and finding employment in the Middle East and GCC region.

"Healthy Change was created as a response to the increase demand for healthcare workers in the region. The Healthy Change career website is user friendly, and an excellent portal for job seekers to post their resumes and locate potential opportunities with ease," says Simon Page, Managing Director, Informa Life Sciences Exhibitions.

GCC countries are popular destinations amongst the Indian workforce. Rising migration flows comes with equally high remittance inflows. According to the latest World Bank report, India continues to be the leading remittance receiving country that drew in $70 billion from its global migrant workforce in 2014. The largest chunk of remittance flows into the country ($12.64 billion) came from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), followed by the United States ($11.18 billion) and Saudi Arabia ($10.84 billion). A good standard of living, better job opportunities, good salary packages and a tax free income in the GCC, will continue to attract Indians. Similarly, migrant Indians will continue to add value to the GCC economy.^[1]

Healthy Change was initiated in line with the incredible amount of economic development in the Middle East, complemented with substantial investment from governments and private healthcare companies in the region presenting a wealth of prospects for expatriate healthcare professionals. Healthy change offers more than 1000 opportunities to healthcare professionals from around the world.
