Lance josal, president of RTKL and Dr. Wael Kaawach CEO of HDH signing the agreement. RTKL's healthcare division, a world leader in the delivery of healthcare design, medical equipment and clinical IT planning, and Healthcare Development Holding Company (HDH), a division of the Saudi Binladen Group, announced Monday the formation of a joint venture company, Care-RTKL, based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Care-RTKL, a subsidiary company of HDH, endeavors to enhance the quality and infrastructure of healthcare services nationally and regionally and is the first regional company with the capacity to deliver a competitive full turnkey healthcare solution from concept to operation. Dr. Wael Kaawach, CEO of HDH, said: "Establishing healthcare facilities is a rather complex process since every wall of a hospital has its own functionality, which affects the efficiency of the operation of the facility as well as the quality of the clinical services provided to the patients. Therefore, in order to develop our vision of enhancing the infrastructure of healthcare in the country and region, we recognize the need to localize the expertise that exists in this specific domain by partnering with a company which enjoys a strong track record, thus enabling Care-RTKL to provide state-of-the art integrated design and planning services to world-class hospitals. The combined expertise of the joint venture is especially relevant as medical equipment and IT technologies become increasingly complicated and are converging at an accelerated rate. Hence, we are blessed to establish our partnership with RTKL." Jeffery Davenport, CEO of CARE-RTKL, said: RTKL has all the components for hospital design and planning under one roof, including feasibility analysis, master planning, architecture, interior design, engineering, medical equipment and IT planning."
