RIYADH: Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Hospital Riyadh has been awarded the Saudi Patient Safety Center Certificate, becoming one of only two hospitals in the Kingdom to achieve the Silver Level during the program’s inaugural cycle. The hospital also secured the highest ranking among the healthcare facilities recognized in Riyadh.

The accomplishment marks another milestone in the hospital’s ongoing pursuit of excellence and comes shortly after it received the Planetree Gold Certification for Person-Centered Care. Together, these recognitions highlight the hospital’s commitment to improving patient experiences while delivering high-quality healthcare outcomes.

The Saudi Patient Safety Center Certificate Program is regarded as one of the Kingdom’s key national initiatives aimed at promoting quality and patient safety across healthcare institutions. The program assesses healthcare providers based on several criteria, including clinical safety practices, medication management, infection prevention and control measures, risk management systems, incident reporting and learning mechanisms, and continuous quality improvement efforts.

Commenting on the achievement, Dr. Mazen Fakeeh, President of Fakeeh Care Group, said the organization views quality and patient safety as essential elements of its mission rather than simply regulatory requirements. He noted that the recognition reflects the hospital’s dedication to delivering safe, high-quality healthcare services to the residents of Riyadh while combining clinical excellence with person-centered care.

He added that the certification represents another step toward strengthening a healthcare system that earns public trust and meets the expectations of patients and their families, in line with the objectives of the Health Sector Transformation Program and Saudi Vision 2030.

Dr. Fakeeh further emphasized that earning both the Planetree Gold Certification and the Saudi Patient Safety Center Certificate demonstrates an integrated approach that places people at the center of care while maintaining the highest standards of safety and quality. He noted that exceptional healthcare is measured not only by clinical outcomes but also by the ability to provide a safe, compassionate, and patient-focused experience.

The achievement also reflects the dedication of the hospital’s physicians, nurses, allied health professionals, and administrative and operational teams, whose efforts have helped foster a strong culture of quality, safety, and patient-centered care.

As part of its continuous development strategy, Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Hospital Riyadh is expanding its healthcare services and strengthening patient safety and quality programs through innovative solutions and the adoption of leading clinical and operational practices. These efforts support Saudi Arabia’s healthcare transformation goals and the broader objectives of Vision 2030.
