The Foundation has taken the initiative to support the Ministry’s efforts by establishing an integrated private medical centre that supports the medical services of Salmaniya Medical Complex, recognising the urgent need for a developed private medical complex in Salmaniya area.

The Kooheji Medical Centre is distinguished by its modern architectural design with large double windows overlooking green natural landscapes, ensuring natural lighting for the building to provide a unique therapeutic experience for all visitors, in addition to designing spacious and practical interior spaces to provide an element of luxury in healthcare and create a healthy environment for all medical staff in the centre and visitors alike.

Moreover, the new facility will apply the best safety and medical standards necessary to ensure a comprehensive treatment experience with practical entrances and exits, safe fire escape routes, laboratories equipped with the latest medical technologies, advanced rooms for medical imaging, and comfortable rooms for all patients and visitors.
