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.”
The local Sigma Chapter at SGH will commence its activities with a chartering ceremony for its founding

members, leading to a series of educational and professional development activities. These activities will
establish a platform for nurses to share ideas, promote best practices, and participate in cooperative

research projects with the goal of enhancing patient care and mirroring the group ethos of caring like family.
