Chairman’s Statement
Chairman of the Board of Directors
Our pledge to our patients and the population is that we will continue to deliver the most exceptional services from the most qualified physicians using the most innovative technology. As we elevate our care, we brighten our futures.
Our commitment to Vision 2030 and the welfare of our patients is at the heart of our organization, as we align with the transformation of the Saudi healthcare sector. We have the most skilful practitioners and support teams with a common goal to play an integral role in the development of care to individuals and the community as a whole, with their eyes set firmly on a brighter healthcare future.
Furthermore, with our comprehensive roadmap to succeed as an independent non-profit organization with transparency, accountability and financial sustainability, we have the perfect framework to contribute to the Vision.
In 2023, we embraced the targets we had set ourselves, creating a holistic approach to our goals, with the ultimate aim of creating more effective patient care and reaffirming our position as a highly influential provider on the global healthcare stage.
As a fundamental right of the Kingdom’s citizens, healthcare must, by its very nature, be accessible. We are recognized region-wide for our commitment to care and the ever- increasing number of patients who choose our expertise and facilities has grown exponentially. More than 50,000 patients were admitted to our hospitals and medical facilities last year, and more than 1.9 million visited as outpatients. The figures are not only impressive in their own right, they are indicative of our contribution to the health of the Kingdom’s communities.
Our innovation has a consistently increasing impact on the people we treat and their long-term well- being, and the research we conduct for the good of people worldwide is a platform for growth in global medicine. Our advances last year in oncology, transplants, neurology, genetics and much more, provide not only new treatments, but also new avenues of exploration for future breakthroughs.
In such an inspirational environment, KFSHRC is a hub of the most talented medical professionals and ambitious physicians of the future. Our philosophy of respect, enthusiasm and integrity has made us a natural employer of choice, giving our teams both the opportunity and encouragement to learn.
In return for their commitment to KFSHRC and their devotion to the patients they serve, we recognize our employees for the invaluable contributions they make to our success. Regardless of status, each colleague is part of our extended family, which regards their physical, mental, and emotional health as critical to the well-being of the organization. In our duty as a fair and just employer, we ensure they are rewarded for their successes and helped in their time of need.
For our communities, too, we have a duty of care and continue to contribute to those less fortunate than ourselves through the Wareef Charity, including cost-free treatments, fund-raising and housing.
As we look to the future of healthcare in Saudi Arabia, long-term care, rehabilitation and home care may be focal points, in parallel with the Saudi Vision 2030 goal of extending life expectancy from 74 years to 80 years of age.
For KFSHRC, our strategic direction has always anticipated and acted according to the demands of the healthcare market with speed and agility. As the most prestigious and progressive healthcare provider in the region with world-class research and development facilities, our unwavering commitment to providing the highest level of care will apply to all patients.
