The King Fahd Armed Forces Hospital is situated in the busy seaport of Jeddah on the western seaboard of the Red Sea. This 420 bedded hospital plus five city-wide satellite clinics form part of a national network of healthcare facilities directly managed by the Medical Services Division (MSD) of the Ministry of Defense and Aviation (MODA).
The hospital provides a wide range of primary, secondary and tertiary medical services to members of the Saudi Arabian Armed Forces and their dependents. The Cardiac Center, situated within the main hospital, is the only adult cardiac surgical facility in the Western Region.
In-service training and education are actively promoted by the Departments of Medical Education and Nursing Education and from within the individual departments. The programme includes a weekly hospital Grand Round, monthly Nursing Grand Rounds and regular nursing study days. Inter- and intra-departmental activities include seminars, case presentations and Journal Clubs. The hospital is also a designated training center for junior medical and nursing staff.
All departments and units, both medical and non-medical, have written Policies and Procedures to ensure delivery of consistent levels of quality care and service.
On-going developments:
The Engineering department is co-ordinating an extensive programme to refurbish and, in some areas, to remodel the interior of the hospital.
