Orthopedic Care and Training at Prince Mohammed bin Salman Hospital

This is Dr. Nasser Al-Ahmadi. Uh, an orthopedic surgeon, a hand and pediatric surgery consultant at Prince Mohammed bin Salman Hospital, and head of the Orthopedics Department.

For a year and a half, since I joined the hospital in May 2023.

The Orthopedics Department, ortho— we have three doctors, uh, Dr. Waleed Al-Asaad, Dr. Saleh Al-Zaydi, and yours truly.

And we also, uh, have three doctors in postgraduate board training, three every six months.

This is an educational service offered by Prince Mohammed bin Salman Hospital.

Alongside the treatment we provide to patients, we provide an educational program for postgraduate board students.

Thankfully, two cohorts have now graduated after six months at Mohammed bin Salman Hospital, and, God willing, next week there will be three new doctors at Prince Mohammed bin Salman Hospital.

Thanks be to God, the Orthopedics Department here provides services in two areas, one— the trauma area, and orthopedics.

Most of our patients here come to three, uh, three clinics.

Almost every day, we examine around 180 to 200 patients a day, They are triaged at the clinic and given the appropriate treatment, and anyone who needs surgery has it scheduled, in addition to the cases we follow up on in, uh, the emergency room, urgent injuries,

as well as consultations from other departments, and that doesn't include those not registered with us.

As for injuries, we handle almost all of them.

Praise and thanks be to God, here at the hospital everything is provided—all, I mean, all kinds of plates, and surgical supplies.

So when a patient arrives at a hospital, uh, Prince Mohammed bin Salman Hospital, from the time they reach the emergency room until they go into surgery and are discharged, the hospital covers all the costs in full, without the patient having to pay anything.

Honestly, first and foremost, all we can say is thank you, we can't thank them enough.

I mean, for the services they provide to our family, our people, and our land.
