The King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center (KFSHRC) has the goal of providing world-class specialized medical care to the people of Saudi Arabia. KFSHRC was inaugurated in June 1975 in Riyadh. According to its website, kfshrc.edu.sa, since its establishment, the institution has undergone steady change and transformation resulting in the development of all areas of patient care, diagnosis, treatment and research.
The KFSHRC website is a treasure trove of knowledge not only for staff and patients at the center, but also for medical professionals both locally and internationally. Standard features provide details about the facilities and staff available at the hospital and research center. The site is constantly updated with news on upcoming symposia, workshops and conferences. There is also a comprehensive section on e-learning opportunities.
The bimonthly multidisciplinary medical journal, “Annals of Saudi Medicine,” published by KFSHRC, has a home at the website. The Annals features original articles, case reports, editorials, special communications, commentaries, and review articles, dealing with aspects of clinical, academic or investigative medicine or research. Emphasis is placed on matters relating to medicine in Saudi Arabia in particular, and the Middle East in general, although articles are welcome from anywhere in the world.
