The establishment of our center came
into existence with the approval of
Prof. Osama S. Tayyeb. This was
authorized under Resolution No.
7139 / S on 05/13/1431 H.,
corresponding to 27/4/2010. In
addition to the generous support of
businessman Sheikh Mohammed Hussein
Al-Amoudi, who realized that the
greatest investment is with Allah
and the innovative idea of breast
cancer survivor and global activist,
Dr. Samia Al-Amoudi.
The historic launch of the project
took place on July 4, 2010, with the
primary idea behind the Center of
Excellence based on establishing a
new concept of women's healthcare in
the Kingdom, namely the vital
medical issue-breast cancer. Through
her work as a physician, experience
as a breast cancer survivor and
efforts of spreading awareness as an
international activist, Dr. Samia
has brought to light a broader
vision concerning the needs of
breast cancer patients.
In addition to her visits to
international centers such as the
Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer
Foundation (later known as the Susan
G. Komen for the Cure), M.D.
Andersen Cancer Center, The John
Hopkins Center, Harvard University
and several others, Al-Amoudi
realized that there were significant
deficiencies in the healthcare
culture in the Kingdom,
in general, as well as the concept
of healthcare for breast cancer
patients, despite the fact that
there is no shortage in qualified
personnel and advanced technology.
Hence, Al-Amoudi began studying the
gap in available medical services
and how to satisfy the needs of
patients, given the available level
of healthcare services. In doing so,
Al-Amoudi took a quantum leap in
improving the quality of services,
without which healthcare as a whole
could never be complete. Thus, the
Center of Excellence for Breast
Cancer was established in operating
under international standards.
The Center hopes that Allah Almighty
will grant them success in reshaping
women's healthcare in the Kingdom,
in achieving the ultimate goal and
their motto 'towards a world-class
first in women's healthcare.'
