King Saud Medical City is a hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It is a tertiary care centre for medicine and surgery especially spinal and neurosurgery. It is international recognized centre for training in medicine and surgery. It has 1200 ward beds + 140 intensive-care unit beds. By virtue of the bed capacity and patient load, KSMC is by far the largest hospital of Saudi Arabia. KSMC's ER department is one of the busiest in the country with a variety of accident and emergency cases pouring in who are triaged and then referred to particular specialties. Teams of doctors from all specialties are available round the clock to provide emergency medical treatment for all patients - emergency or admitted. KSMC meets all the criteria for training post-graduate doctors. Consultants, specialists, registrars, residents and interns from all specialties and sub specialties form groups within their departments. Each group follows a hierarchy which forms a pyramid, having interns at the bottom, rising to residents, registrars followed by specialists and consultants all headed by the head of a Group. All groups are headed by the Head of the Department. On a daily basis, a team of doctors from each group are on-call, forming a team consisting of intern, R1 (first year resident), R2 (second year resident), R4 or R5 (registrar), Specialist and finally Consultant. All cases referred to the team will be endorsed to each of its member and decisions regarding choice of treatment will be made by the consultant. Thus the patient and the team of doctors are benefited equally. The patient has a team of doctors caring for him, thus even if a member of the team is busy a senior covers him and vigils the patient. All the team members learn from the Consultant who imparts a blend of education with experience. All patients needing emergency operations are sent to a special operating room which caters to emergency operating room services. Those patients needing ICU services are shifted there without delay. The elective operating rooms are in a Theater complex on the third floor. The main ICU reserved for infected cases is located in the main building whereas the new ICU catering to medicine, surgery, cardiology, neurology and other specialties (ENT, Dental, Orthopedics) is located in the first and second floors of the medical tower. Specialties such as obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, dental have their own buildings (towers) which cater to serving patients of those diseases. In the near future, more towers will be added such as the surgical tower and emergency services tower (which are under construction). Since a few years KSMC has upgraded its status to a medical city (King Saud Medical City)() == See also == * List of hospitals in Saudi Arabia 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「King Saud Medical Complex」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
