The board of Mouwasat Medical Services Company has approved the development of a new hospital project in Riyadh for 900 million Saudi riyals ($240 million).

The 280-bed hospital, including specialised medical centres, will come up in Al-Narjis district, the company said in a statement to the Saudi stock exchange on Monday.

The project will be funded through internal resources and long-term Shariah-compliant loans from local banks.

The project’s start and completion date will be announced later, the statement said.

In October 2025, Mouwasat board approved plans to establish a new hospital in Abha at a total cost of SAR 700 million.
