In a significant step toward strengthening Saudi Arabia’s healthcare financing ecosystem, the “Seha Sukuk” platform has been officially launched, marking a new era of innovative, Shariah-compliant financial solutions dedicated to the healthcare and biotechnology sectors.
The announcement was made during the Global Health Exhibition 2025, in the presence of His Excellency Fahad Al-Jalajel, Minister of Health. The platform was introduced through a strategic collaboration with Esnad Financial Company, following approval from the Capital Market Authority.
Seha Sukuk has been developed as a specialized platform designed to address the evolving financing needs of healthcare providers and biotechnology companies across the Kingdom. By offering tailored sukuk-based solutions, the platform enables access to capital in a manner that aligns with Islamic finance principles while supporting sector growth and sustainability.
The initiative aims to activate and expand investment in both healthcare and biotechnology, key pillars of Saudi Arabia’s future economic diversification. It directly aligns with the ambitions of Saudi Vision 2030 and supports the National Biotechnology Strategy, which targets biotechnology contributing 3% to the Kingdom’s GDP by 2040.
Through this platform, Seha Sukuk is positioned to play a vital role in enabling private sector participation and unlocking new funding channels for high-impact projects. It will empower institutions to scale operations, invest in innovation, and enhance service delivery across the healthcare value chain.
The launch also reinforces the growing importance of public-private collaboration in achieving national transformation goals. By introducing innovative financial instruments and strengthening market accessibility, Seha Sukuk contributes to the advancement of the Health Sector Transformation Program.
This milestone underscores a strong commitment to building a resilient, future-ready healthcare ecosystem—one driven by innovation, supported by robust financial infrastructure, and aligned with the Kingdom’s long-term vision for sustainable growth.
