FOUNDATION
IHG was initially formed as a private/public partnership with a UK state
owned enterprise and is now a fully private family owned company.
IHG’s first healthcare project was for the Presidential Court of Abu
Dhabi, which needed support to establish Abu Dhabi’s National Health
Service. IHG successfully assisted in this major project by providing
around 70 healthcare experts for eight years until completion.
KEYI HOSPITAL OPENING IN 2024
In 1980, the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and
the Saudi Arabian National Guard (SANG) wanted to appoint,
under a KSA/UK government-to-government contract, an
international healthcare company to equip, manage, recruit and
train staff, transfer technology and to manage and maintain its large
Healthcare Campus in Jeddah, (now known as the King Abdulaziz
Medical City), which included the brand new 500 bed King Khalid
National Guard Hospital (KKH) that was officially opened by
HRH The Prince of Wales.

IHG was appointed to recruit and manage the 2,000 staff at the
hospital. IHG also provided staff with education and training. After
KKH was successfully commissioned and opened by IHG, under IHG’s
ongoing operational management, it was announced that the KKH
would be open to all Saudi citizens. IHG’s involvement in providing a
high level of patient care at KKH continued until 1993. IHG received
various letters of acknowledgement and accolades for its high and
consistent quality of care and management.
