Al Habib Hospitals Ramadan Hours | 24/7 Emergency Services

Dr. Sulaiman Al Habib Medical Group, one of the largest healthcare providers in the Middle East, announced adjusted working hours at all its hospitals and medical centers in Riyadh, Jeddah, Qassim, and Khobar, coinciding with the start of the holy month of Ramadan. This step reflects the group's commitment to adapting to the community's lifestyle during Ramadan, while ensuring the continued provision of its medical services at the highest standards of quality and efficiency.

Background on Al Habib Group and its pioneering role

Dr. Sulaiman Al Habib Medical Group was established in 1995 and has since solidified its position as a leading name in the private healthcare sector in Saudi Arabia and the wider region. The group is renowned for its adoption of cutting-edge medical technologies and its provision of a comprehensive, patient-centered treatment environment. The announcement of its Ramadan operating hours is an annual event eagerly anticipated by patients, reflecting its commitment to meeting their healthcare needs without interruption, particularly given the changes in daily routines during the holy month, which combines worship with other life obligations.

Details of the new working hours

To ensure the best possible service, the outpatient clinics will operate in two shifts to accommodate all patients:

• Morning period: It starts daily from 10:00 AM and continues until 5:00 PM.
• Evening period: It starts at 8:00 PM and extends until 2:00 AM.

In a move that underscores its utmost readiness, vital departments will continue to operate without interruption, with emergency departments, laboratories, radiology, and pharmacies receiving patients 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including Friday, to ensure that emergency cases receive the necessary immediate care.

The importance of the continuity of medical services during Ramadan

This initiative is of paramount importance both locally and regionally. Locally, it provides reassurance to citizens and residents in the Kingdom's major cities, confirming that urgent healthcare is available at any time. Furthermore, raising the level of preparedness in emergency and intensive care units to handle critical cases such as heart attacks, strokes, traffic accidents, and pediatric, women's, and maternity emergencies strengthens the community's healthcare safety net. Regionally, Al Habib Medical Group sets a commendable example in managing healthcare facilities during religious occasions, balancing operational demands with the spirituality of the month.

Digital transformation for patient care

To enhance patient convenience, the group continues to activate its innovative digital services, such as the “Al Habib Live Care” service, which allows patients to connect with a doctor and receive remote medical consultations from anywhere. The Rapid Response Team (RRT) service is also prominent, handling critical cases, in addition to the ability to easily refill prescriptions through the group's app from home, thus reducing the need for patients, especially those with chronic illnesses, to visit the hospital.
