Almadina Cardiac Center
About us:
Cardiac patients from the Almadina region used to wait for several weeks or months to get appointments in tertiary care cardiac centers in Jeddah or Riyadh. Not only patients have to wait the but also they have to either air travel with their accompanying family members, airlifted or transferred on an ambulance to Jeddah which is 400 kilometres away. Therefore it was felt that building up a modern tertiary care cardiac center recruiting highly experienced & qualified physicians and other supporting staff will be cost effective.
Considering the above, the Ministry of health decided to build up a state of the art tertiary care cardiac center. That received support from HRH prince of Almadina region, and an unrestricted support from the director of the Health Directorate.
