IN line with its vision to make quality healthcare services easily accessible for people of Saudi Arabia, Aster DM Healthcare, one of the leading healthcare conglomerates, in collaboration with the General Secretariat of the Cooperative Health Insurance Council in Saudi Arabia, has recently opened a health insurance section at Sanad Hospital in Riyadh. The introduction of the new section corroborates with Crown Prince and Deputy Premier Mohammed Bin Salman's Vision 2030 to ease access to healthcare services and improve the derived value of provided services (quality of outcomes and experience).

Aster DM Healthcare has taken a new step towards offering high-quality healthcare services, aiming to make the beneficiaries aware of their rights and duties, and to familiarize recipients with the regulations governing health insurance which will determine the responsibility of each party within the insurance relationship.

Commenting on Sanad Hospital’s new health insurance section (pavilion), Dr. Fadi Al Ghareeb, CEO and Consultant in Neuro & Spine Surgery at Sanad Hospital, said “we believe it is crucial to educate the public about the health insurance system, in terms of how it works and what are the beneficiary duties and responsibilities, to enable better usage of healthcare services. The aim of the new section would be to guide our patients in this journey and ensure best outcomes for them. We at Sanad Hospital are proud to collaborate with the General Secretariat of the Cooperative Health Insurance Council, to deliver upon our commitment to provide superior healthcare services to the people of KSA with international standards in quality care. The new section (pavilion) is a step forward to reach our goals.”

The aim of the new health insurance section is to raise public awareness on the cooperative health insurance system, the executive bylaws, and the unified documentation through direct contact with the insured to explain to them their rights, respond to all their inquiries, and receive their proposals. Living by its core promise of “We’ll Treat You Well”, Sanad Hospital is prepared to own the space for being the most trusted healthcare service provider in the region, under the umbrella of Aster DM Healthcare.

Aster DM Healthcare is one of the largest international healthcare networks with 323 operating facilities across 9 countries and recognized as the source of reliable healthcare services across the GCC for 30 years now. — SG
