• Many patients travel to the hospital directly from outside Riyadh, so free drinking water is the very least we can offer them.
• Some scans require the patient to drink a great deal of water; we spare them the trouble of buying it and provide it free, especially for patients on a limited income.
• Improving the experience of patients, visitors and guests.
• Making the patient's or visitor's journey easier while they are at the hospital.
• Strengthening solidarity and connection within the community.
