Ms. Iman Kouwatly, Group Chief Nursing Officer, stated: “Achieving Magnet Designation as the first
private hospital in Riyadh highlights the exceptional leadership of Dr. Eslam El Adwy, our Chief
Executive Officer, and Mr. Samer Al Halabi, our Chief Nursing Officer, in guiding the team to this
milestone. It is a testament to the team's unwavering commitment to the transformation journey in

pursuit of nursing excellence. It gives me great pride to have our Saudi German Hospitals among the
elite hospitals worldwide, as only around 9% have earned Magnet Status.”

The ANCC Magnet Recognition Program is the gold standard for nursing excellence around the globe.
Magnet hospitals demonstrate higher patient satisfaction, lower mortality rates, and superior clinical

outcomes. The Magnet Recognition represents a major milestone in SGH Riyadh’s journey, reinforcing
the institution’s commitment to improving healthcare outcomes by emphasizing enhanced patient-
centered care and experience.
