Building for the Future – The Vision Behind Leaders Medical City’s Master Plan

As Saudi Arabia continues to rapidly urbanize and its population grows younger, the demand for smarter, more integrated healthcare solutions has never been higher. Leaders Medical City isn’t just another hospital project—it’s a forward-thinking master-planned medical ecosystem designed to serve generations to come.

Spanning over 590,000 square meters in the fast-growing northern region of Jeddah, this development combines three world-class medical facilities—a 200-bed pediatric hospital, a 306-bed teaching hospital, and a 120-bed extended care facility—with educational, commercial, residential, and tourism components. All are intricately woven into a sustainable community framework.

But why go beyond just a hospital?

A Medical City, Not Just a Hospital

The vision behind Leaders Medical City stems from a bold idea: that healing, learning, living, and innovation can coexist and thrive together. The complex integrates:

• A state-of-the-art medical school for 2,000 students

• Fully equipped teaching hospitals with training facilities

• Residential apartments and villas for staff and students

• Business centers, shopping malls, and hotels for the public

• And of course, the spectacular Butterfly Garden that supports healing and mental well-being

This creates not only a center of clinical excellence but also a livable, walkable campus that attracts top talent and international recognition.

Strategic Location for Maximum Impact

Just 15 minutes from King Abdulaziz International Airport, and adjacent to major roadways connecting Jeddah to Madinah, the location is ideal for both local patients and medical tourists from across the Middle East and Africa.

With surrounding areas like Obhur and Asfan seeing a surge in residential development, the need for high-quality, accessible healthcare—and supporting commercial services—is growing rapidly.

Designed for Sustainability and Long-Term Success

Every element of the city has been engineered for long-term sustainability:

• Solar-powered infrastructure for public spaces and gardens

• Recycled water systems for landscaping and the Butterfly Garden

• On-campus staff housing to reduce commute times and improve work-life balance

• Commercial amenities that create revenue streams to support healthcare services

It’s not just about delivering services—it’s about creating a thriving, self-sustaining community.

A Scalable Model for Future Cities

The vision doesn’t stop with one location. The model used to develop Leaders Medical City can be replicated in other growing regions across Saudi Arabia and the Gulf. With its focus on integrated care, medical education, and community development, it presents a blueprint for future-ready cities in a post-pandemic world.

As Jeddah grows, so does the potential of Leaders Medical City to become not only a local healthcare leader—but a regional and global hub for excellence in medical innovation, training, and patient care.
