The origin of Mouwasat's operation dates back to 1975, with the launching of Mouwasat Dispensary in Dammam - the first private medical clinic in that region. In 1979, Mouwasat undertook the management and operation of clinics in the residential area of Al-Jubail industrial city.
In 1984, Mouwasat established its first owned comprehensive medical facility which was named Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam. The construction cost of this project exceeded SAR 130 million, and actual operation started in 1988. This is considered to be the real start of the Company and the cornerstone which led to establishing other Mouwasat medical facilities Kingdom-wide. Establishing Mouwasat Hospital in Jubail was accomplished through two phases, the first phase witnessed completing the outpatient clinics, while the Company developed the inpatient department of the hospital in the second phase. Mouwasat Hospital in Jubail is considered an ideal example for private sector hospitals due to its unique architectural design, its advanced medical supplies and equipment in use, and its operating efficiency. The year 2004 was a milestone in the history of Mouwasat Hospital in Jubail as it achieved a utilization ratio of 80%.
During 2001, the Company started operating Mouwasat Medical Dispensary in Al-Ahsa and Mouwasat Hospital in Madina through a lease contract with a duration of twenty years. Also, the Company entered into an agreement with United Development Company Limited in 2002 to manage and operate Najd Consulting Hospital in Riyadh.
In 2006, Mouwasat acquired 51% of the Eastern Medical Services Company, which owns the Gulf Specialized Hospital which is known today as Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Qatif.
Today, the medical network of Mouwasat covers the main cities in the Kingdom including Dammam, Al-Qatif, Jubail, Al-Ahsa, Al-Khobar, Riyadh, and Madina.
The Company applies clear and specific standards, criteria, and procedures pertaining to operations and human resources. In addition, the Company adopts a clear strategy for the continuous development of these standards, policies, and procedures through benefiting from the local and international experience in the medical field. Likewise, Mouwasat undertakes a continuous advancement of its medical equipment and systems to bring them in line with international standards and up-to-date technology. Recently, Mouwasat commenced a process to obtain certification from the American Joint Commission International (“JCI”) for its hospitals. JCI is an independent commission that accredits hospitals around the world according to international standards. JCI accredits hospitals for three-year periods after which it re-evaluates them to ensure that they are still operating within JCI standards . The relevant procedures started for Mouwasat hospital in Dammam, and in December 2006 all requirements were completed and the JCI certificate was obtained on 7 December 2006. In addition to Dammam hospital, Al-Qatif hospital was accredited in late 2008, whereas Jubail hospital was accredited in April 2009. The Company plans to obtain the JCI accreditation for its other hospitals to add up to its achievements and maintain its unique position in the market.
The Company does not plan to make any significant change to the nature of its current operations.
Mouwasat hospitals are distinguished models due to their locations, capacities, high technology medical systems, and the non-medical furniture and equipments. In general, Mouwasat hospitals provide complete line of medical services through their outpatient clinics including internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, orthopedics, dermatology, venereology, general surgery, ophthalmology, ENT, cardiology, vasculars, psychiatry, neurology, dentistry, plastic surgery, rheumatism, and physiotherapy.

The inpatient rooms are divided into semi-private shared rooms with a capacity of two beds, and private rooms with a single bed, in addition to the executive suites, with varied services.

Additionally, Mouwasat offers advanced medical services in the ophthalmic and ENT divisions in Dammam hospital through collaboration with Hospitals & Centers.
Mouwasat has several cooperation agreements with various international medical bodies with the purpose of providing required medical services.
