A city of visitors as well as residents
Madinah's healthcare load is not set by its resident population alone. GASTAT recorded 6,452,696 visitors to Madinah in the first quarter of 2025, 4,412,689 of them from outside the Kingdom. The city's airport, Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport, is operated by Tibah Airports.
Visitor flows of that size add to the load on outpatient clinics, emergency departments and ambulance services, and on the kitchens that feed visitors. In disposables terms that means masks, examination gloves, couch rolls and patient gowns for clinics; bed sheets and stretcher covers for emergency and inpatient care; and hair nets and aprons for catering.
Madinah Health Cluster and specialist care
Health Holding's Madinah Health Cluster serves more than 2.3 million beneficiaries through its primary care network and 18 hospitals, with a total bed capacity of 3,118. King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre, which has operated since 1976, also has a presence in Madinah alongside its Riyadh and Jeddah sites.
Public purchasing for the cluster runs through NUPCO and government tenders on Etimad, which overseas suppliers enter through a Saudi-registered distributor. Every medical item needs an SFDA marketing authorisation, filed by the manufacturer or its Saudi authorised representative, before it can be supplied.
Getting goods to Madinah
Madinah is inland, so sea freight for the city is landed at a Red Sea port and moved by road; your forwarder picks the port and route. Goods held at our Dubai warehouse can also travel overland into the Kingdom through the Al Ghuwaifat border crossing.
The Madinah Region is also home to Knowledge Economic City, listed by the Economic Cities and Special Zones Authority as an economic city focused on knowledge-based sectors. For importers, the practical point is that one Saudi importer of record, with SFDA authorisation in place, can serve Madinah, Makkah and Jeddah from a single entry point on the Red Sea coast.
How we supply Madinah
We have no office, warehouse or stock in Madinah or elsewhere in Saudi Arabia, and we hold no SFDA authorisations or NUPCO registration. Orders ship from India or from our warehouse in Ras Al Khor, Dubai, to your Saudi importer of record, by sea to a Red Sea port or overland from the UAE.
With each quotation we send spec sheets, certificates of analysis and declarations of the ISO 9001 / ISO 13485 quality standards the goods are supplied to, and we confirm before you order which manufacturer documents are available for each item.
