Located just north of Riyadh in the Banban area, it provides therapeutic, supportive and other services which are designed to assist in restoring health following acute illnesses. Opened in 2002, it is funded by the Sultan Bin Abdulaziz Foundation. The hospital offers specialised, comprehensive care to patients with physical, congenital and perceptual disabilities.

This 200,000 sqm facility includes a 240-bed medical rehabilitation centre, a recovery centre focusing on mature adults and the elderly, an ambulatory services centre, and a child development centre focused on children up to the age of ten years old.

A hospital that already has JCI status (awarded in 2006), The Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Hospital (DSFH) in Jeddah, has achieved international accreditation from The Australian Council of Healthcare Standards International (ACHSI).

Dr Soliman Fakeeh Hospital is a leading referral hospital, established in 1978 by Dr Soliman Fakeeh. It is considered to be among the top ten in the world for in-vitro fertilisation procedures.
