The International Medical Center (IMC) Hospital launched a huge healthcare education investment in the city of Jeddah with its brand new state-of-the-art medical college. Comprising an area of 13,581 square meters and spread over six floors, the new IMC Medical College will have the capacity to accommodate about 1,200 students. The college provides undergraduate medical programs in Medicine, Nursing, and a Master's of Public Health, set to offer high-quality education to the country's future health professionals. The Saudi Vision 2030 has pertinent goals: it aims to improve health education and form high-class training that will equip its students with skills to bridge gaps in healthcare needs in the country.
The IMC Medical College represents IMC’s commitment to elevating the standard of healthcare education in the region and contributing to Saudi Arabia's goals of a knowledge-based society. Dr. Walid Fitaihi, Chairman and CEO of IMC Hospital, remarked, “We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our leadership for this invaluable trust. Two decades ago, when we laid the IMC hospital’s foundation, we made a promise to bring about a transformative shift in the private healthcare sector. Today, we renew that promise with a commitment to deliver another transformative leap, this time in private health education. With this, we aim to contribute powerfully and effectively to realizing our nation’s cherished Vision 2030.”
As Saudi Arabia moves towards the goals outlined in Vision 2030, the IMC Medical College will play a vital role in preparing healthcare professionals who are not only knowledgeable but also socially responsible and dedicated to improving public health. The new programs, developed in partnership with leading experts, will foster a learning environment where future medical leaders can excel, innovate, and contribute to the Kingdom's flourishing healthcare sector.
The construction of the IMC Medical College will begin soon, with completion targeted within the coming years. With this new educational hub, IMC is poised to become a significant player in the region’s healthcare education, enhancing the Kingdom’s ability to produce homegrown healthcare professionals who will lead the sector forward.
