History

Our history is inspiring to us and others. Founded in 1982 by the then HRH Prince Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, the late king of Saudi Arabia (2005-2015), the MNGHA has come a long way from its beginnings in the capital city of Riyadh, where it started with small primary care in 1968. When HRH, then the late King Abdullah, first started building and developing MNGHA, his passion for the "best in class health care" drove the organization leaders to begin laying the foundations for this respectable state-of-the-art healthcare organization.
