The International Medical Center signed a partnership agreement with King Abdullah University of Science and Technology to provide healthcare services for the university’s employees, in accordance with the highest medical standards set by the IMC.
The partnership agreement between the two parties stipulates that the IMC will provide integrated medical services to KAUST, supported by emergency, laboratory, radiology and pharmacy departments on campus, serving its employees and residents as well as providing them with all therapeutic, surgical and preventive services through the IMC headquarters.
Dr. Walid Fitaihi, chairman and CEO of the IMC, said that the choice of KAUST, which includes the largest university cities on a global scale, to partner with the IMC for providing its employees and residents with medical services, comes in line with Saudi Vision 2030. “This vision emphasized that the government sector benefits from the services of the private healthcare sector in light of the privatization of healthcare services, which is why KAUST made the choice to benefit from the world-class standards of healthcare provided by the IMC,” he said.
