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
