His Royal Highness the Acting Governor of Jazan Region, Prince Muhammad bin Abdulaziz bin Muhammad bin Abdulaziz, has inaugurated a dialysis center (with a 32-bed capacity, including 2 beds for isolation) in Samtah governorate.
The center aims to provide dialysis sessions to patients with chronic renal failure associated with common diseases like diabetes and obesity. It is supplied with all necessary medical equipment and qualified medical and nursing staff, in addition to cutting–edge dialysis devices. It has started to serve all citizens in the governorate, and will operate at its full capacity in the coming period.
It is noteworthy that the Ministry of Health (MOH), in collaboration with DaVita Inc., a global American company currently providing kidney care services in 13 countries, has begun to establish a number of clinics in Saudi Arabia under MOH’s supervision since the beginning of 2014. Also, the Dialysis Center- Samtah is its third center in Jazan.
