From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
King Fahd Medical City King Fahd Medical City (KFMC), the largest medical complex in the Middle East, is in Riyadh and consists of a main hospital, maternity hospital, pediatric hospital, rehabilitation center and primary care clinics. In addition to the hospitals there are a burns treatment unit, kidney center, intensive care facilities and spinal cord treatment unit.
The opening of KFMC coincided with the 23rd anniversary of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd’s accession to the throne. King Fahd donated SR53.98 million last year to purchase medical equipment required by the complex.
With four hospitals, KFMC is the largest medical facility in the Middle East built at a cost of SR2.3 billion. KFMC’s yearly operating budget is estimated at SR300 million for medical and non-medical maintenance and catering contracts.
“We are proud that this is the largest and the most advanced medical facility in the Middle East which specializes in treating rare and chronic diseases,” said Minister of Health Dr. Hamad ibn Abdullah Al-Manie in his inaugural address. It is expected to treat more than 50,000 in-house patients and more than 600,000 outpatients annually, the minister said.
