Under the patronage of the Deputy Emir of Makkah Province, His Royal Highness Prince Saud bin Mishaal bin Abdulaziz, and in the presence of the Governor of Jeddah on his behalf, His Highness Prince Saud bin Abdullah bin Jalawi, the Abdul Latif Jameel Hospital for Medical Rehabilitation celebrated its 30th anniversary, marking a profound social and health impact in the field of comprehensive medical rehabilitation, having served over 125,000 patients. The celebration took place on Thursday, December 7, 2024, at the Shangri-La Hotel in Jeddah, showcasing the hospital’s historical milestones and key achievements. The event was attended by the Deputy President and Vice Chairman of Abdul Latif Jameel, Mr. Hassan Jameel, the leaders from Abdul Latif Jameel Hospital, Abdul Latif Jameel Company, and prominent figures from the public and private sectors.

The Abdul Latif Jameel Hospital was established in 1994 and has built a legacy of achievements as the first private medical rehabilitation hospital in Saudi Arabia. With a state-of-the-art facility in Jeddah spanning 43,000 square meters, it houses eight wings with a capacity of 76 beds and offers a range of outpatient services. 

The idea behind the hospital dates back to the early nineties when the late Abdul Latif Jameel suffered a stroke that severely impacted his well-being, prompting him to travel abroad to receive treatment. Upon his return, he sought to establish a specialized center for medical rehabilitation that would serve the people of Saudi Arabia and its residents. His son, Mohammed Jameel carried the torch after him and began the center’s construction, implementing it, and supervising its management. In 2000, Ms. Najia Abdul Latif Jameel took over the leadership to transform the center into an integrated hospital that serves thousands of patients annually. 

On this occasion, Ms. Najia Jameel, Chairwoman of the Hospital’s Board of Trustees, commented: “The vision of Abdul Latif Jameel Hospital is centered on delivering high-quality rehabilitation services to those in need, by attracting highly qualified professionals and utilizing advanced technologies, in alignment with Saudi Vision 2030. This day marks a special occasion for the entire team at Abdul Latif Jameel Hospital, as we celebrate the progress and successes we have achieved, which would not have been possible without the unwavering support of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, the Crown Prince, and all our supportive government organizations.”

Dr. Youssef AbdulRahman, Executive Director of Abdul Latif Jameel Hospital, added: “Today, we celebrate the achievements of the past 30 years and look forward to continuing to provide top-quality medical services and solutions, and actively contributing to scientific research and innovation in medical rehabilitation. We are committed to adopting advanced practices and technologies to enhance the quality of patient care. We remain dedicated to creating a positive impact through new strategies and partnerships, ensuring both quantitative and qualitative growth and keeping pace with the latest advancements in medical rehabilitation.”

Over the past thirty years, Abdul Latif Jameel Hospital has remained committed to excellence and innovation in providing comprehensive medical rehabilitation services. It continues to uphold the vision of the Community Jameel Foundation of utilizing modern technology and business models to enhance patient care and ensure sustained progress in the field of rehabilitation.
