The Ministry of Health is looking for a specialist private-sector operator to run (clinical and non-clinical operations) and maintain the hospital, as well as provide some medical and non-medical equipment.
The hospital will be erected on a 62,500m2 site and will have a capacity of 150 beds, with five inpatient treatment rooms, 19 outpatient clinics, and six daycare treatment rooms.
Adults and youths will be able to receive specialized mental health and substance addiction therapy at the hospital, which will be open to both genders. The facility is a big step forward in improving access to mental health and substance abuse treatment in the Kingdom by providing high-quality care that follows international best practices and follows the national mental health paradigm. In addition, by boosting private sector participation in the healthcare sector, the hospital will contribute to a key goal of Vision 2030.
