National Medical Care

What National Medical Care does

National Medical Care Company (operating under the "Care" brand) is a publicly listed Saudi Arabian healthcare provider incorporated in 2003 and listed on the Saudi Tadawul exchange (tadawul:4005) since 2013, with the General Organization for Social Insurance (GOSI) as a public-sector shareholder. Its core operations revolve around a multi-facility hospital network anchored in Riyadh — Care Medical Hospital Almalaz (459 beds, originally founded in 1966 as Riyadh's first private-sector hospital) and Care Medical Hospital Ar Rawabi (268 beds, founded 1990) — and extended in recent years to Makkah via the Jiwar emergency facility (60+ beds, 2023) and to long-term care and dialysis via Care Medical Al Balad Hospital (2024), with the AL Salam Health Medical Hospital also acquired in 2024 for SAR 44 million. A new Al Narjis Hospital in Riyadh is currently under construction, financed by a SAR 1.2 billion Islamic facility from Arab National Bank.

Service offerings span multi-specialty inpatient and outpatient care (emergency medicine, surgery, cardiology, oncology, neurology, orthopedics), advanced diagnostic imaging (CT, MRI, X-ray, ultrasound), a 13-chair dental center, a comprehensive home care program covering Alzheimer's, palliative, post-surgery, and respiratory care, and telemedicine consultations backed by integrated portals. The underlying technology stack includes web-based patient and doctor portals for appointment booking and medical record access, e-services for lab results, mobile applications on iOS and Android, and digital transformation infrastructure covering cloud, IoT, big data, disaster recovery, and cybersecurity, managed by a dedicated CITO. Operational technology is augmented through strategic partnerships with Siemens Healthineers, Samsung Medison, and Oncoclinics for diagnostic imaging and oncology capability uplift.

Revenue is generated from hospital services, specialist consultations, diagnostic and laboratory procedures, dental services, and home care subscriptions, billed through a mix of private insurance, government health schemes (including Council of Health Insurance partnerships and PMJAY references), and self-pay channels. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly disclosed and varies by service, room category, and specialty. Customers include the general Saudi population across age groups, pilgrims and Hajj visitors served via the Makkah-located Jiwar facility, and chronic care/dialysis patients served through Al Balad. The company is also positioning Care Academy as a training platform with full institutional accreditation, supporting its medical talent pipeline.

Direct peers

• Fakeeh Care Group: Saudi private hospital and healthcare group founded by Dr. Soliman Fakeeh. Operates multi-specialty hospitals including in Makkah, directly overlapping with Care Medical's Makkah pilgrim-serve segment and Riyadh acute care market.
• Dallah Healthcare Company: Saudi publicly listed healthcare holding company operating Dallah Hospital in Riyadh and other facilities. Directly comparable in geography (Riyadh), business model (private multi-specialty hospital group), and capital markets positioning on Tadawul.
• Saudi German Health Group: Major MENA private hospital network with flagship Saudi German Hospitals. Operates large multi-specialty hospitals in Saudi Arabia competing for the same private-pay and insured patient segments as Care Medical.
• Mouwasat Medical Services Company: Saudi publicly listed private hospital operator with flagship facilities in Eastern Province and Jeddah. Competes with Care Medical for Saudi patients seeking multi-specialty inpatient care and shares a similar Tadawul-listed, asset-heavy hospital model.
• Al Hammadi Hospitals: Saudi private hospital group listed on Tadawul with facilities primarily in Riyadh. Direct competitor in the same Riyadh market segment with comparable multi-specialty acute-care service offerings.
• Dr. Sulaiman Al Habib Medical Group (HMG): One of the largest private hospital and healthcare operators in Saudi Arabia, listed on Tadawul. Competes directly with Care Medical in Riyadh and across Saudi cities, operating multi-specialty hospitals with similar digital platforms, physician rosters, and Saudi-focused patient base.

Emerging players

• Aster DM Healthcare: GCC-headquartered hospital and clinic operator (with Indian heritage) expanding into Saudi Arabia. A potential new entrant in the same Saudi private healthcare market where Care Medical competes, with comparable multi-specialty capabilities and a digital-first operating model.
• United Medical Industries Corporation (UMC): Saudi listed company focused on medical devices, diagnostics, and healthcare services. Comparable in operating geography and Saudi healthcare ecosystem positioning, though with a different mix of services and a less developed hospital footprint.

Broad incumbents

• King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center (KFSHRC): Largest Saudi government-operated tertiary and quaternary care hospital network. Several Care Medical executives (COO started career at KFSHRC) have KFSHRC backgrounds. Not a direct competitor but sets the clinical benchmark and competes for senior physician talent.
• King Fahad Medical City (KFMC): Major Saudi public tertiary hospital complex in Riyadh where Care Medical's CEO and COO previously held senior roles. Operates at greater scale than Care Medical and serves a partially overlapping patient population, though as a public institution.
