Jeddah, Saudi Arabia: Nahdi Medical Company (“Nahdi” or “the Company”), Saudi Arabia’s largest purpose-driven healthcare and wellbeing company, announced today that its Nahdicare clinic in Al-Marwah has been accredited by the Saudi Central Board for Accreditation of Healthcare Institutions (“CBAHI”).

The CBAHI is the official agency authorized to grant accreditation certificates to all governmental and private healthcare facilities operating in the Kingdom. The Al-Marwah-based clinic is the first polyclinic in the Makkah region to be awarded this accreditation. The accreditation was granted in accordance with the national polyclinics’ standards after exceeding all qualification requirements.​

The coveted accreditation reflects Nahdi’s deep commitment to grow its healthcare services business by offering high quality, personalized care that is accessible to all its Guests. It also reflects Nahdi’s dedication to improving the quality of life among its Guests by providing value-based medical care in the Kingdom, in line with Vision 2030.

It also reflects our passion towards our Guests and communities while reassuring our deep commitment to holistically provide access of transformative personalized healthcare to everyone in the community.”

The state-of-the-art Nahdicare clinic has met all accreditation requirements within just three months of its application via the accreditation survey. This survey is known to include a rigorous, transparent, and comprehensive evaluation process which may usually take up to a year to assess. The evaluation criteria include factors such as the provision of quality healthcare, ensuring patient safety, and provision of the highest level of medical care. The Al-Marwah clinic has met all of the Board’s evaluation criteria from leadership competencies; provision of care; laboratory services; access to radiology, dental, and dermatology; medication management, information management; infection prevention and control measures; and facility management.

The accreditation represents another significant milestone along Nahdi’s journey and is a testimony to the Company’s mission of exceeding Guest expectations by providing superior personalized life care experiences.
