The Medical Tower and Inpatient Beds Expansion project at the Saudi German Hospital Riyadh is 70% complete, with expected completion date by March 31, 2022.

There is no change in the cost of the projects, and there are no possible effects as a result of the delay on the company’s financials.

Latest developments regarding the projects will be announced in due course.

According to data compiled by Argaam, in August 2018, Saudi German Health signed contracts for the outpatient tower and inpatient beds expansion in Riyadh hospital, design and construction of the Makkah hospital, and the staff housing project in Makkah and Dammam.
