EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1950s, showcases Al-Shumaisi Hospital, now known as the King Saud Medical Centre, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The hospital, a significant milestone in the country's healthcare sector, is prominently displayed against the backdrop of a roundabout. Al-Shumaisi Hospital, established in 1948, was the first modern hospital in Riyadh, providing essential medical services to the growing population. The hospital's construction was a collaborative effort between the Saudi Arabian government and the United States Public Health Service. The photograph reveals the hospital's impressive architecture, with its whitewashed walls, red-tiled roofs, and large windows. The hospital's grounds are meticulously maintained, with lush greenery and palm trees adding to the serene atmosphere. The roundabout, adorned with palm trees and a central fountain, adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the scene. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of healthcare in Saudi Arabia. Today, the hospital, now known as the King Saud Medical Centre, continues to serve the people of Riyadh and the wider community, having undergone numerous expansions and renovations over the years. The hospital is a testament to the progress and development of Saudi Arabia's healthcare sector and remains an integral part of the city's landscape.
