A proven track record of supporting the health sector
The deceased was not merely a passing social figure, but a national role model in social responsibility, his name associated with impactful healthcare projects. Most notably, he generously donated to establish the "Comprehensive Screening and Early Detection Center for Tumors" in Qatif Governorate. This vital project was more than just a building; it was a humanitarian initiative aimed at promoting a culture of prevention and providing advanced medical care that contributes to saving lives through early disease detection.
