Health care costs more in the Arabian Gulf | The National:
"The cost of providing health benefits to employees in the Arabian Gulf is considerably higher than in Europe, Africa and elsewhere in the Middle East, according to a new report.
A survey by Mercer Marsh Benefits found that health insurance in the Gulf cost companies 6 per cent of payroll, compared with 3.9 per cent in eastern Europe and 3.3 per cent in western Europe.
“There are a number of reasons for that,” said Steve Clements, the employee health and benefits leader for the Middle East at Mercer. “In this region it’s typical that employers will offer very comprehensive healthcare benefits because of the expat population that exists here.”"
