Big Wins in the Desert Heat
Chinese contractor Zhejiang Construction International just clinched a massive 994 million riyal ($265 million) deal to build a 60,000 square metre speciality hospital for Prince Mohammed bin Fahd University in Al Khobar. Moreover, this project features a 10-floor hospital, two interconnected five-floor support buildings, and a basement. Workers will handle everything from detailed design and construction to landscaping, mechanical works, and installing top medical equipment.
Saudi Healthcare Boom Goes Global
Construction kicks off and should wrap up in three years. Additionally, this victory follows other huge Chinese successes like the Eight billion riyal Superblock Five project. Prince Mohammed bin Fahd University, founded in 2006, expands facilities to boost medical education and clinical services. Thus, Saudi Arabia keeps investing heavily in healthcare to match rapid population growth and urban development.
