Furthermore, International SOS extensive network of medical providers adds to our capacity to deliver timely and
effective medical assistance. In Saudi Arabia, for instance, we work with our network of third-party providers who
operate a fleet of helicopters to facilitate rapid medical evacuations when necessary. Similarly, our full fleet of air
ambulances based in Dubai enables us to swiftly transport patients to advanced medical facilities when needed. We
guarantee the highest standards of care for organisations’ workforce by combining the provision of on-the-ground
medical services, managing and coordinating medical cases through the Assistance Centers, and leveraging
International SOS strong network of medical providers, backed by air and helicopter ambulance support.

Health consulting is crucial for giga-projects as it provides invaluable expertise and insights that are necessary for the
project’s success. We use a systematic process to identify, assess, and prepare for health risks to individuals in an
organisation to minimise the incidence of illness and injury, maintain workplace safety, and promote mental health
and well-being. Our consulting engagements in the Kingdom encompass a wide range of tasks, such as ensuring
compliance with local and international occupational health standards and regulations, developing comprehensive
health programmes that address the physical and mental health needs of our organisational workforce, and
delivering robust and uninterrupted medical services during massive site expansions.

In the early stages of a project, our consultants are focussing on gaining a comprehensive understanding of the
project's scope and objectives to better identify and address potential health and safety challenges. During project’s
construction phase, they continue to assist companies by offering a wide range of insight, instruments and
approaches focussed at promoting and enhancing employee health, wellbeing and productivity. The key focus areas
here are to support business continuity by providing timely and quality medical care to employees, thereby increasing
their efficiency while minimising downtime.

Before being deployed to a remote site, our medical professionals are guaranteed to have received AHA-certified
training from our training department in KSA. This, combined with our comprehensive e-learning programs and
quality improvement programs such as skills assessments and clinical skills manuals, further contributes to the
delivery of high-quality medical services. Following the stringent principles of clinical governance and medical
supervision our on the ground medical teams are always working together with International SOS medical
professionals at Assistance Centers leveraging their combined expertise to further enhance our services. This
collaborative environment fosters innovation and ensures that we are at the forefront of best medical practices.

Our Occupational Health Services in Saudi Arabia include a wide range of medical evaluations and programs
designed to promote and protect the health and wellness of employees in a variety of industries. These services,
provided at the Burj AlShifa Medical Complex in Dammam, and International SOS Medical Complex in Khobar,
include routine, preventive, and industry-specific health checks to protect workers' safety and productivity in KSA.
Designed to reduce occupational hazards, prevent work-related illnesses and injuries, and support workers' optimal
physical and mental wellness, these services are also fully compliant with the local and international requirements
and regulations.

In addition, we provide mobile health checks in Saudi Arabia, as well as OH medicals, Baladiya, Iqama, Driver's
Licence medicals, and more, offering flexible and easy ways to deliver pre-employment and periodic medical services
directly to clients. These capabilities enable efficient on-site medical examinations and screenings, removing the
need for patients to travel to medical facilities, as well as providing healthcare solutions that are suited for a wide
range of groups and organisations.

Our latest projects have seen the successful implementation of comprehensive medical solutions, tailored to the
specific requirements of organisations operating in Saudi Arabia. For instance, we established a 700 square meter,
state-of-the-art medical facility and operated satellite clinics to offer primary and emergency care to more than 28,000
employees as part of a major project. Another instance is when we designed and managed an advanced Health
Centre to meet the diverse healthcare needs of over 3,000 employees. These projects underscore our commitment to
delivering tailored medical solutions at scale, with a strong focus on employee well-being and operational efficiency.
