Mouwasat achieves 74% of expansion works at Dammam hospital

Mouwasat Medical Services Co. announced the continuation of the expansion works at its hospital in Dammam, with construction works having reached 74%.

Trial operations are expected to start in Q4 2020, the company said in a bourse statement on Thursday.

The statement further explained that the previously announced completion date has been delayed due to the COVID-19 restrictions which led to change in construction timeline, in addition to a delay in the supply of construction materials. However, the project’s cost remains the same.

In September 2017, Mouwasat signed a contract worth SAR 150 million with Project Build Co. Ltd. (PBC) to expand the Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam.

The trial operations were expected to start in Q2 2020 for a three-month period, while commercial operations were set to commence after obtaining the required approval from the Ministry of Health.
