Planted in the heart of Riyadh, in the Al Olaya district, the hospital is operational and is already taking its patients. It holds a hundred and forty beds, eleven operating theaters and procedure rooms and an eighteen-bed emergency department.

The Casablanca group, which runs a network of forty-five establishments across twenty-five Moroccan cities, thus crosses its first border.

The opening lands in a market that Riyadh is methodically reopening to private operators under its Vision 2030. Cardiology, oncology and hematology are among the disciplines announced.

A listed group exporting its model of care will be judged over time, never on an opening day.
