JUBAIL: The Royal Commission for Jubail Hospital has opened clinics for plastic surgery and burns within its general surgery department.
Fahd bin Abdullah Al-Kharashi, director of RCJ’s Health Services Program, said: “These new services aim to provide an appropriate therapeutic environment for patients and support integrative work between the hospital and beneficiaries.”
“This initiative is part of the ongoing development of the medical and engineering plan at the hospital to provide comprehensive and integrated health services for the Jubail community,” Al-Kharashi said.
The new service includes plastic surgery, tissue rebuilding to repair scars on the face, neck, body and hands for adults and children, congenital malformation correction in children, treatment of various occupational injuries, fractures and tendon laceration, skin-contouring treatment, and burns treatment.
About 158 diagnostic and therapeutic cases were registered at the hospital since the launch of the new service a month ago, with 33 percent suffering from different types of burns. The medical team conducted recently four successful reconstructive surgeries for patients exposed to injuries and deep wounds to the hands and face.
The new clinics are under the supervision of Saleh Al-Ghamdi, a specialized consultant plastic and reconstructive surgeon, associate member of the German Society for Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery in craniofacial and microsurgery.

Saudi Scouts Association unveils environmental protection program
- Public service and education program to encourage responsible behavior among young people, says SASA leader
RIYADH: The Saudi Arabian Scouts Association has launched a new environmental protection program at King Salman Wildlife Park in Banban, north of Riyadh, marking a renewed commitment to conservation and youth engagement in sustainability efforts.
The SASA initiative, unveiled in the presence of role players from various scouting sectors, brought together partners from government agencies and private-sector organizations, the Saudi Press Agency reported recently.
The program reflects growing collaboration between civic groups and national institutions to advance environmental protection goals across the Kingdom.
Abdulrahman Al-Mudaris, the SASA’s secretary-general, said the initiative underscores the scouts’ active role in supporting national strategies to preserve natural resources and promote sustainable development.
He said environmental scouting was a public service activity and educational approach designed to instill environmental awareness and encourage responsible behavior among young people.
The launch event featured the sowing of seeds and planting of seedlings throughout the park to support vegetation growth and enhance biodiversity, the SPA reported.
Founded in 1961, the SASA is a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement and operates under the umbrella of the Ministry of Education.
Over the decades, Saudi scouts have played a visible role in community service, disaster response, and public event organization, including supporting pilgrim services during Hajj and Umrah seasons.
