National Guard Health Affairs (NGHA) is a large health organization providing modern medical care to National Guard employees and their dependents, as well as to Saudi Nationals with tertiary health problems. Under the umbrella of NGHA, there are four hospitals and sixty primary and secondary health centers around the Kingdom. Two of these hospitals are Imam AbdulRahman Al-Faisal Hospital (IAAFH) in Damman and King Abdulaziz Hospital (KAH) in Al Ahsa. The other two hospitals have expanded over the last few years to become major medical cities; namely King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC) in Riyadh and KAMC in Jeddah. These two medical cities provide high standard medical services including international Pediatric Surgery, Open-Heart Surgery, Oncology Center, Organ Transplantation, Laparascopic Surgery, Trauma Surgery, and many high-caliber tertiary and quaternary medical specialties.
NGHA has also become well known internationally, especially in successful conjoined twins separations. Five sets of conjoined twins have been successfully separated at KAMC in Riyadh. This is only one example of many high level services that have made NGHA the heart of medicine in Saudi Arabia.
Furthermore, at the direction of The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the King Abdulaziz Medical City Academy (KAMC-Academy ) has been established and will encompass the College of Medicine, College of Nursing and Allied Medical Sciences (CNAMS), Academic Affairs and Training and Development. The introduction of this unit will be a first in the Kingdom and will bring the organization into alignment with other institutions internationally. It will provide a huge opportunity to this organization by increasing educational programs to develop qualified Saudi professionals, who will be able to provide quality health services to all health areas creating both stability and continuity of care within the Kingdom
