Cambridge Health Group (CHG), the GCC's leading post-acute care provider and a subsidiary of Amanat Holdings, has signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Oracle to integrate cloud enterprise applications and artificial intelligence tools across its operations in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. The agreement was signed during the Abu Dhabi Future Health Summit on 22 October 2026.

Under the MoU, CHG will deploy Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications spanning finance, workforce management and supply chain, drawing on Oracle's ERP, Human Capital Management and Supply Chain and Manufacturing modules. The stated goal is to connect information flows across CHG's six facilities and its outpatient and home healthcare services, supporting what the company describes as a more seamless patient journey through rehabilitation and long-term care.

What the agreement covers

The collaboration also includes an assessment phase for Oracle Health clinical solutions, including electronic health records. CHG was explicit that any EHR implementation would be subject to separate definitive agreements, meaning the clinical technology component remains at the evaluation stage for now. The MoU is non-binding, and the scope, requirements and timelines for individual workstreams have not yet been fixed.

Wael Abdallah, Group Chief Executive Officer of Cambridge Health Group, said the company's expansion across the UAE and Saudi Arabia made investment in integrated infrastructure essential. "Our collaboration with Oracle reflects that long-term commitment, helping us lay the foundations for a more integrated, efficient and resilient healthcare organisation," he said.

Seema Verma, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Oracle Health and Life Sciences, framed the deal as part of a broader healthcare transformation argument, noting that connecting finance, workforce and supply chain data enables leadership teams to direct resources more effectively.

Market context

Gulf Cooperation Council healthcare is undergoing rapid digitalisation, driven by national transformation strategies in both Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Saudi Vision 2030 and the UAE's National Strategy for Healthcare have each earmarked significant public and private investment in health infrastructure, creating a receptive environment for large enterprise technology deals. Oracle, SAP and Cerner (now part of Oracle Health following its 2022 acquisition) compete alongside regional integrators and a growing number of digital-health specialists for contracts with both public health authorities and private hospital groups.

CHG's focus on post-acute care, rehabilitation and home healthcare is a relatively differentiated niche within the Gulf's private hospital market, which has historically concentrated on acute and specialist inpatient services. As GCC populations age and the prevalence of chronic conditions increases, demand for the kind of step-down and long-term care CHG provides is expected to grow. Whether the Oracle partnership accelerates CHG's ability to pursue further facility acquisitions or joint ventures in the region will be a key question for Amanat investors in the quarters ahead. CHG currently operates more than 700 licensed beds and employs over 1,300 professionals across the two countries.
