These additional services continue to position the Group as a highly unique and specialized healthcare leader in Saudi Arabia. SGH has already been known for its innovate approach to medical care as the first and only private hospital in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that is able to perform liver transplant surgeries. It recently announced its 12th successful liver transplant surgery, which was performed by the Elite Liver Transplant Center, the only center of its kind in the Western region of Saudi Arabia.

To achieve our aspiration, we have meticulously studied the needs of our communities and have addressed the areas where there has been gaps and a need for more medical care. We aim to be able to bring our community the healthcare services they need and deserve,” he added.
The new services and treatments along with the already well-established unique services will enable Saudi German Hospitals Group to offer more customized and personalized care to patients to meet their specific medical needs.
