Visit to King’s College Hospital London, Jeddah

A delegation from King’s Commercial visited the construction site for King’s College Hospital London, Jeddah which is due to open for patients early in 2024. The London-based team were delighted with progress made since our last visit and discussed our integration plans with the senior project team and lead clinicians.

The hospital will deliver the highest level of care to patients in the region and will create more than 1,200 jobs across a range of clinical services centred on four clinical peaks:

• Women’s health
• Cardiology
• Obesity, metabolic disease and bariatric/metabolic Surgery
• Orthopaedics

Through this partnership, we will support the development of KCH Jeddah in terms of clinical expertise and protocols, assurance on quality, integration of services, guidance on facility and service set-up, as well as the recruitment of key posts and provision of education and training.

King’s work overseas – via King’s Commercial Services – helps the Trust generate funds, which are invested back into the Trust for the benefit of patients and staff.
