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.”
