TCE Group proudly announces a strategic partnership with جمعية السعودية للتعزيز والتثقيف الصحي | Saudi Health Promotion & Education Association, alongside NTG Clarity and 2MDOpinion, to bring advanced AI-powered healthcare technology to the service of millions of pilgrims.
Through this collaboration, 50,000 volunteers will gain access to real-time translation and medical specialist consultations, ensuring inclusive, efficient, and compassionate medical support during Hajj, Umrah, and all year round.
This partnership reflects TCE Group’s commitment to turning innovation into impact, transforming digital healthcare into a humanitarian force aligned with Saudi Vision 2030.
Saudi Vision 2030 is a comprehensive national transformation plan launched in 2016 to diversify the economy beyond oil, enhance quality of life, and position Saudi Arabia as a global hub for tourism, innovation, and services. A key pillar is the Pilgrim Experience Program, which aims to enrich the journey for Hajj and Umrah visitors through better infrastructure, cultural enrichment, and health services.
Hajj is the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, drawing up to 2-3 million participants in a single week, while Umrah is a similar but non-mandatory pilgrimage that can occur anytime, attracting millions more throughout the year. These events pose unique challenges: diverse crowds, language differences, extreme weather, and health risks like dehydration, infections, or chronic conditions.
This partnership directly supports that by turning digital healthcare into a “humanitarian force,” as the statement notes. It reflects TCE Group’s ethos of “turning innovation into impact” by applying Canadian tech expertise to real-world challenges in Saudi Arabia, fostering international collaboration and economic ties. It contributes to Vision 2030’s goals of improving healthcare access, investing in AI and digital infrastructure, and boosting tourism revenue from pilgrimages.
The partnership ensures volunteers can provide inclusive, efficient, and compassionate support by bridging gaps in communication and expertise, potentially reducing response times for medical issues and improving overall safety.
Beyond the peak pilgrimage seasons, the platform will support ongoing health initiatives in Saudi Arabia, such as community clinics or disaster response. This extends its impact to everyday humanitarian efforts, helping underserved populations and aligning with global health equity goals.
