Stroke Treatment for Non-Saudis
Providing rapid treatment at King Faisal Specialist Hospital for critically ill patients who cannot afford the cost of care — those suffering acute strokes and referred from government hospitals.
Large numbers are referred to King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre, and this condition is the third most common cause of death in the Kingdom (after heart disease and cancer). Because stroke patients cannot afford the cost of treatment, King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre treats this type of stroke, but at a charge for non-Saudi patients.
Project returns (expected impact):
Saving a patient's life, and everything that means to the patient and their family.
Delivering treatment and, God willing, successful clinical outcomes where intervention is urgent and swift.
The great and lasting reward the donor earns by contributing to patients' treatment.
The happiness the donor feels in knowing they helped save a sick person's life and brought joy to their family — and the patient's prayers for the donor in their absence.
The donor's sense of social responsibility towards their country and the community they live in.
Target group:
Stroke patients referred from government hospitals (King Salman Hospital – King Saud Medical City – Diriyah Hospital) who cannot pay their own costs. Leaving them in those hospitals without rapid therapeutic intervention leads to the patient's death or permanent disability, God forbid.
