Saudi Arabia's Nahdi Medical Company, the Kingdom's leading healthcare and retail pharmacy provider, has signed a series of strategic agreements with six charitable health associations to broaden the reach of its Convoys of Hope programme, which delivers medical services to villages and remote areas across the country.

Zawya reported that the agreements included renewing existing partnerships that have delivered results over previous years, alongside new deals aimed at expanding geographical coverage of healthcare services to a greater number of underserved communities.

The six partner associations span the Kingdom's key regions: Al-Rahma Medical Charitable Society in the Eastern Province, Sheffaa Association in the Western Province, the Charitable Society for Healthcare in the Northern Province, Enaya Health Society in the Central Province, Al-Ihsan Association in the Southern Province, and Al-Hayat Association in the Madinah region.

Nahdi also signed memoranda of understanding to provide field medical services during the Hajj season, continuing its tradition of launching dedicated convoys for pilgrims.

Yasser Joharji, CEO of Nahdi Medical Company, said: "As a leading national company, we believe in the importance of empowering charitable organisations in the non-profit sector and working with them as partners in serving the community and achieving shared development goals in line with the objectives of the Health Transformation Program and the Kingdom's Vision 2030."

He added that the programme had already served more than 108,000 beneficiaries across 255 villages, and that the company looked forward to expanding the Convoys of Hope to cover six key regions across the Kingdom in partnership with current and new partners.

The programme is aligned with national directives from Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development.
