Security Forces Hospital Program is considered one of the main portals among the group of providing health care services in the Kingdom.
Its inception began before 35 years i.e. in the year 1393H (1972), when small dispensary was opened with small and very limited resources in Riyadh. Such dispensary was expanded in 1396H (1975) to become a hospital running 20 beds. By support of HRH Prince Nayef Bin Abdul Aziz, Minister of Interior, and His Deputy HRH Prince Ahmed Bin Abdul Aziz a hospital was constructed next to such dispensary running 120 beds. When the construction of the hospital finished, its operation was awarded to one of national companies under the supervision and follow up of Ministry of Interior representatives. Later on, such project was called “Security Forces Hospital” and the first phase of construction was called “First Phase Project”.
In 1402H (1981) the second phase of construction started for constructing a hospital on an area of land of 65,360 square meters, and it was completed in 1406H (1985), when the hospital continued in growth and development.
In 1409H (1988) HRH Prince Nayef Bin Abdul Aziz, Minister of Interior, concluded the contract of Operation and Maintenance of Security Forces Hospital and the field mobile hospital in Makkah Al-Mokarramah with one of the national companies specialized in operation and maintenance of hospitals. At the end of 1412H (1991) the contract was renewed for other periods, as the award of such two contracts resulted in huge development in the hospital’s resources, as number of beds reached to 508 beds. Also, two new awards were opened, and extensions of other existing awards were made in addition to making available advanced medical equipment.
In 1419H (1998) the Ministry of Interior assumed the responsibility of operation and maintenance of Security Forces Hospital and the field mobile hospital in Makkah Al-Mokarramah, and the hospital has become know under the name of Security Forces Hospital Program, which nowadays has become one of the best reputed and famous hospitals in the Kingdom, and it is the only hospital that provides services to Ministry of Interior personnel and their families.
