We solidify our dedication and commitment to this Healthcare program by setting up this RHQ office and team.”, said Jan Demey, Chairman and CEO of Hict.

H.E. Pascal Grégoire, Ambassador to Belgium in Saudi Arabia: “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Belgium have a long relation in healthcare related projects, from infrastructure to innovation and recently with Covid Vaccination, one of the major Vaccines in the Kingdom came from Belgium. This first Regional Headquarter of a Belgium HQ based organization is a major step as well in the collaboration between the Kingdoms as well as the collaboration on sharing expertise and knowledge on healthcare, a fast moving and evolving sector for both countries. We congratulate and support MISA and HICT to realize this RHQ license and we hope many other Belgian companies can follow this example.”
