It is under the ownership of Saudi Egyptian Healthcare Co., with the majority stake held by Batterjee Medical Co. (a related party). Additionally, there exists a management supervision agreement with Saudi German Health.

No shares are being held by Saudi German Health in the new hospital. Instead, it operates under an asset revenue model, providing management supervision, the statement said.

The statement emphasizes that all necessary licenses were secured from the relevant authorities, enabling the hospital to commence patient admissions from Oct. 11, 2023.
