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.

RIYADH: The economy of the First Saudi State served as a fundamental pillar in building the nation, consolidating its influence, and ensuring its stability, the Saudi Press Agency reported recently.
The main features of this economy is outlined in the book “Diriyah: Origins and Development during the First Saudi State,” by Dr. Abdullah Al-Saleh Al-Othaimeen, the SPA reported.
The measures taken in those early days helped to ensure security, unify regions, and organize society. This assisted in stimulating trade, stabilizing markets, and enhancing life in Diriyah and surrounding areas.
The book, published by the King Abdulaziz Foundation for Research and Archives, outlines how these actions facilitated the arrival of caravans, secured vast trade routes, and revived commerce across the Arabian Peninsula.
Beyond its political and intellectual prominence, Diriyah emerged as a vibrant economic hub. Its markets attracted merchants and students from across the region.
The local community relied on diverse activities including trade, agriculture, and livestock breeding, with horses and camels playing crucial roles in transportation, commerce, and securing roads.
Economic growth during this founding phase “solidified Diriyah’s position as a premier political and commercial center in the Arabian Peninsula,” the SPA reported
