Dr. Ahmed Shebl, Group CEO of Saudi German Health, said: “The esteemed Magnet recognition strengthens SGH
Riyadh’s commitment to delivering the highest standards of patient care, nursing leadership, and improved clinical

outcomes, all while ensuring a compassionate patient experience. This milestone is not just an achievement for Saudi
German Hospital Riyadh; it is a moment of pride for the entire Saudi German Health family and the community in the

region.”

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.
