Magrabi Hospitals and Centers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Magrabi Hospitals & Centers, founded in 1955,[1] started as an eye hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It was the first private specialized facility in the Middle East and Africa. It became the largest and first sub-specialized medical care network in the region, providing eye care to more than 1,000,000 patients and performing more than 100,000 sight-preserving surgeries annually.[2]

In the late 1970s, Magrabi decided to expand their services by acquiring ENT and Dentistry practices.[3]

In 1997, Magrabi Hospitals & Centers went into partnership with AMI Saudi Arabia Limited.[citation needed]

In 2009, IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, has partnered with Magrabi Hospitals & Centers to expand private eye care in MENA region, to address the need for ophthalmology services, and to bring clinical and patient care to underdeveloped markets in the region.[citation needed]

Magrabi Hospitals & Centers operates in nine countries in the Middle East & Africa. It has 32 hospitals and centers, 8 of which are charitable, 300 physicians and 600 nurses. The facilities host 40 operating theaters.[citation needed]
