SGH marks 23 years of community service

JEDDAH: A large number of residents including members of the expatriate community participated in Saudi German Hospitals Group 's 23rd anniversary here. Saudi Arabia's generous assistance to the group was acknowledged at the anniversary celebration.

"The Kingdom supported the group with SR400 million," group President Sobhi Batterjee said. The group's hospitals across the Kingdom and overseas have been offering health care of the best international standards since its launch in 1988. "And many people, both Saudis and expatriates, are benefiting from our health care services," he added.

Several prominent officials and heads of the Islamic Development Bank (IDB), members of the consular corps, insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies, as well as training institutes attended the event at Park Hyatt Jeddah. Both Batterjee and his son Makarem reviewed the group's history and outlined its mission and vision.

Batterjee emphasized that the group lays much emphasis on medical education and has established Batterjee Medical College, which he described as the biggest private medical university in the Middle East. The first batch of students studying physiotherapy has already graduated. The group aims to operate a total of 30 hospitals across the Middle East, offering 50,000 jobs by 2015.

Aside from hospitals, the group is involved in medical education and many other activities for the community in Madinah, Riyadh, Jeddah, Asir and Hail as well as in Yemen, Dubai and Egypt.
