Ihsan Medical initiatives in Jazan empower patients, improve access

The Ihsan Medical Charity Association in Jazan is making significant strides in improving patient access to healthcare, particularly in remote and underserved regions. Their initiatives extend beyond direct treatment, with a focus on empowering patients and alleviating the challenges of accessing medical services.

One noteworthy project is the Visiting Consultant initiative. This project addresses the scarcity of specialized healthcare services in peripheral centers by deploying a team of volunteer consultant physicians. This enables accurate diagnoses and suitable treatments for patients within their communities, thereby avoiding the necessity for lengthy travel.

In 2025, the Visiting Consultant project touched the lives of around 45,726 individuals. Additionally, the Rahma for Dialysis project ensures dialysis services for those in need, especially those unable to afford the associated costs. Since its inception, this project has benefited approximately 11,164 people by the end of 2025.

The Safeer Charitable Transport project is another crucial initiative. It provides consistent transportation to and from hospitals and treatment centers for patients with kidney failure, sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, and cancer. Over 150 patients regularly benefit from this service, with more than 1,200 trips taking place each month. By year-end 2025, a total of 535,295 trips will have been completed.

In the realm of medical and surgical treatments, the Shifa project has facilitated 13,800 diverse surgical operations for both Saudis and non-Saudis. This service, particularly for urgent cases on waiting lists who cannot afford treatment outside government hospitals, operates in collaboration with both public and private hospitals.

These endeavors underscore the far-reaching social impact of Ihsan Medical’s initiatives in Jazan. By intertwining medical care, volunteerism, and community support, these initiatives alleviate burdens on patients and their families, enhancing healthcare continuity in the region.
