He disclosed plans to open modern hospitals with extensive facilities in Riyadh and Jizan under JNH. Construction of the hospital in Riyadh will begin soon.
JNH’s Gulail branch, spread across 30,000 square feet, is equipped with state-of-the-art amenities and technical facilities required for a multi-specialty hospital. Vehicle parking is available on the ground floor. When fully operational, the hospital will have the capacity to care for up to 5,000 patients per day. It can accommodate up to 100 inpatients and has an ICU that can accommodate up to 20 patients.
In addition to the seven theaters where all surgeries can be performed, there are high-tech labs, blood banks, PCR testing centers and cath labs, as well as radiology, CT, MRI scans, X-rays and ultrasound equipment. Moreover, the hospital has a 250-seat auditorium with advanced sound and light control systems. The ramp, which can be accessed from the ground floor to the fifth floor, is a unique feature of the hospital complex, which has received special praise from the Civil Defense. It is designed to evacuate all patients within two minutes in the event of an emergency. The company will initially be able to employ up to 200 people with preference for locals and then gradually increase to around 1,500 people.
In addition to Saudi Arabia, JNH and the Ryan Medical Group have made significant strides in the healthcare sector in the UAE and Bahrain.
