A large Saudi tertiary hospital in Riyadh whose adult oncology centre runs an established bone marrow and stem cell transplantation programme.
King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre is a major tertiary referral hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with further campuses elsewhere in the kingdom. Its website presents a full range of specialist hospital services rather than a single treatment offering, and the relevant service for this directory sits inside its adult oncology centre.
According to the hospital's own Oncology Centre (Adults) page, the centre is organised into five areas: an adult haematology and haematopoietic stem cell transplantation section, medical oncology, palliative care medicine, radiation oncology, and a research unit which coordinates the stem cell transplant programme alongside clinical research and a tumour registry.
The stem cell transplantation service is a conventional haematology programme rather than a regenerative medicine offering. The page states that the hospital has performed more than 5,100 bone marrow transplants and that the programme is fully accredited by the National Marrow Donor Program, a United States donor registry and accrediting body. This is the hospital's own statement of its record.
The pages read did not name individual consultants or give a street address for the centre, and no information about cost was published. Patients outside Saudi Arabia would normally reach a programme of this kind by referral, and the site directs enquiries to a national helpline.
The site describes the centre as providing comprehensive adult cancer care across the following areas.
The site describes haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, which is the transplantation of blood-forming stem cells, delivered as part of the adult haematology service, and reports more than 5,100 bone marrow transplants performed.
The hospital pages read did not name individual consultants in the transplant service.
The centre is one part of a large government tertiary hospital in Riyadh with its own oncology, radiotherapy and research infrastructure, including TomoTherapy, CyberKnife and linear accelerators as described on the site. The site states that the National Center for Cancer Care work and the transplant programme are supported by a dedicated research unit. No street address, department telephone number or photographs of the transplant unit were published on the pages read; the site gives a general helpline number instead.
The site says nothing about the cost of treatment. No prices, price ranges or funding arrangements were published on the pages read.
