JEDDAH — Al Ryan International Polyclinic here commemorated 20 years of achievements at its premises. Employees, physicians, and several other Indian community members were among the guests.

He also inaugurated the new bloc of the polyclinic, and launched its official website. “I am very privilege to be here and I wish you all the best for the future,” he said. V.P. Mohammed Ali, chairperson, said: “This 20-year-celebration is the long standing support of the community. We are incredibly grateful to the Almighty Allah who has given our hospital the ability to meet the unique healthcare needs. I am thankful to my staff members, paramedical staff, and physicians as without their ongoing commitment we would not be able to provide hope and heal the precious lives that come to us for care.” T.P. Shuaib, C.E.O. of Al Ryan, said: “We started this clinic in 1993 with seven doctors, and now we have 135 doctors specializing in cardiology, dental, orthopedics, ENT, and skin among others.” He further highlighted the successful journey of the clinic, and congratulated everyone on the occasion.
