Awn (Providing Ambulances)
Providing a number of ambulances for King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre in Jeddah, so it can handle a greater number of critical emergency cases than it can currently meet.
Target group:
• King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre – Jeddah
• King Fahad National Centre for Children's Cancer – Riyadh
Location:
- King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre – Riyadh.
- King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre – Jeddah.
Financial scope:
SAR 5,900,000.
Project rationale:
- The existing ambulances are old and worn out — most of those in service have been in use for more than 10 years, and their frequent need for repairs affects the service delivered to patients.
- Daily demand for ambulances has grown with today's urban and population growth.
- There is a pressing need for more than one ambulance because emergencies occur at the same time.
- The hospital is one of the main hospitals serving a large populated area.
Facts and figures:
• One ambulance was provided for Riyadh
• 4 ambulances will be provided for Jeddah
