providing access to leadership development programs, mentorship and

networking opportunities with larger nursing communities worldwide.

Sigma has a long-standing reputation for its commitment to promoting nursing
research and evidence-based practice. By encouraging research initiatives

among nurses and nursing students, the newly established Sigma chapter will

emphasise the importance of knowledge translation that would directly

contribute to enhancing patient care, improving clinical outcomes, and driving

healthcare innovation in the region. Conducting research and innovation
projects would have a positive transformative impact on nursing practice and

overall organisation performance.

Dr. Ahmed Shebl, Group Chief Executive Officer at SGH said; “We are confident

that a local Sigma chapter in Saudi Arabia will have a lasting impact on the

nursing community and healthcare delivery. Establishing a Sigma Chapter would

distinguish SGH as a pioneer in the Saudi private healthcare sector in advancing

and supporting the nursing practice in the country.”

Beyond its educational and professional growth endeavours, the SGH Sigma

chapter will actively participate in community service initiatives, underscoring
the Group’s dedication to supporting the community it serves. This participation

involves volunteering at local health fairs, offering educational resources to

marginalised populations, and extending support to healthcare-focused

charitable organisations.

Ms. Iman Elkouwatly, Group Chief Nursing Officer at SGH, stated: “We strongly

support the establishment of the Sigma Chapter, and firmly believe that it holds

a very high potential to improve nursing practice and the healthcare system. We
are committed to participating in future activities of the Sigma Chapter and will

allocate resources, provide leadership support, and overcome challenges to

maximise the benefits of this important milestone.”
