To meet this growing need for cancer care, a team of 70 medical experts specialized and dedicated to treating a variety of cancers at the new Center will work hand in hand with Almana experts from other departments, such as Gynecology, Urology, Pulmonology, Internal Medicine, Neurology and Neurosurgery to provide holistic, integrated, and specialized care to achieve the best possible outcomes for patients.

We are known for providing over seven decades of exceptional medical care and are driven by a desire to continuously advance our services to best meet the growing needs of our communities and support the Saudi 2030 vision to transform healthcare in the Kingdom.
