Fakeeh Care Group

Saudi Arabia

Founded in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in 1978 by Dr. Soliman Fakeeh, the Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Hospital (DSFH) has been a true leader in the field, whose pioneering spirit and visionary resolve has - for over three decades - advanced by leaps the standards of healthcare delivery in the Kingdom and in the region. In 1986, the first expansion of the Hospital was inaugurated by His Majesty, the late King Fahd bin Abd al-Aziz. In addition to doubling the facility's inpatient capacity, that expansion introduced such new centers as open-heart surgery and new clinics, including neurosurgery, neurology, nephrology and infertility clinics, and established DSFH as a definitive leader of private healthcare in the Kingdom. In 1999, a second expansion inaugurated by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah bin Abd al-Aziz, Crown-Prince at the time, marked the addition of two new structures to the DSFH campus, and offered several additional clinics and fitness centers. DSFH was the first private hospital in the Western Region of the Kingdom to become accredited by the Joint Commission International (JCI) in 2006 and 2009, and by the Australian Council for Healthcare Standards International (ACHSI) in 2008. DSFH is presently considered one of the most distinguished hospitals in the Middle East, and is visited by over 500,000 patients every year; and it is the first hospital to publish a corporate social responsibility report in the health care sector in the MENA region in 2008. DSFH is a regional pioneer in the field of organ-transplantation, including kidney, bone-marrow, liver, and heart transplantation. Its open-heart surgery centre claims the highest number of operations done in the private sector in the Kingdom with a success rate comparable to any international centre of excellence.
