Saudisation Slow in Pharmaceutical Sector - Saudi pharma industry is apprehensive of its helplessness to hire competent sales assistants and pharmacists from the Kingdom. The biggest reasons behind this lethargic move in Saudisation include long working-hours, low salaries, and plenty of foreign workers working for less money.
Experts estimate, there’re above 20,000 men & women from adjoining countries who are serving Saudi pharma industry. There’re numerous pharmacies throughout the Kingdom, which could possibly provide job to thousands of Saudis.
Number of Saudi pharmacists making their way into the industry isn’t going to be above 250 in next 3 years.
