Saudi German Hospital

The establishment of the Saudi German Hospitals (SGH) Group was in response to a large number of patients in Saudi Arabia traveling to Germany for their healthcare needs as they couldn’t find adequate facilities at home. SGH was founded to provide the same level of care and standard of service within the country and later expanded to serve other parts of the region, including Dubai. SGH Dubai is a 300-bed facility that has been accredited by JCI and CAP and is also a centre for medical tourism.
