Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Hospital Careers

Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Hospital (PMAH) is a government referral hospital in the Al Rawabi district of east Riyadh. First planned as the Eastern Riyadh Hospital, it was renamed by King Abdullah in 2011 and inaugurated by Prince Muqrin bin Abdulaziz on 28 April 2013. The Ministry of Health put the cost of building it at more than SAR 465 million.

At opening, the Ministry described a five-storey, 500-bed hospital with 102 intensive care beds, about 62 emergency beds, 52 dialysis beds, a 16-bed burns unit, 85 outpatient clinics and 15 operating rooms, including 10 main digital theatres and 4 day-surgery rooms. It described the emergency department as one of the largest in the region. During the COVID-19 pandemic the hospital served as a major treatment centre and expanded its intensive care capacity.

PMAH is now part of Riyadh Second Health Cluster, the network under Health Holding Company that covers the east and north of Riyadh and includes King Fahad Medical City, 9 hospitals, 3 dental centres, a kidney centre and 103 primary care centres. It treats adult acute and chronic medical and surgical conditions at secondary and tertiary level.

Its surgical services cover general, vascular, gastrointestinal, burns and cosmetic, thoracic, orthopaedic and spinal, endocrine, kidney and urinary tract, adult neurosurgery, ENT and head and neck, maxillofacial and ophthalmic surgery, plus adult cardiac surgery. Medical services include internal medicine and its subspecialties, ECMO, dialysis, palliative care, psychiatry and a dental service, supported by imaging with MRI, CT, nuclear medicine and interventional radiology.

For healthcare professionals, PMAH offers heavy acute exposure: emergency, trauma, critical care, burns and surgery. It suits nurses and doctors who want to build experience in a high-volume Saudi government hospital, and it runs training events and workshops for its staff.
