A patient in critical condition was recently brought to the Emergency Department at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Riyadh, transferred from another medical facility. He was suffering from severe septic shock, acute kidney failure, and significant heart weakness — all triggered by advanced gangrene in his intestines and colon.
From the moment he arrived, the hospital’s critical care team acted swiftly. He was admitted directly to the Intensive Care Unit, where he received urgent life support and stabilization. Once stable enough, the surgical team prepared him for an emergency exploratory operation.
The surgery, led by Dr. Ahmed Abdel Fattah Habib and his dedicated surgical team, revealed gangrene in the ascending colon and around 50 cm of the small intestine. The affected areas were carefully removed, and a temporary colostomy was performed to help his body recover.
As his condition gradually improved and vital signs stabilized, the medical team scheduled a second surgery to close the colostomy. That operation also went smoothly, and the patient continued to recover well.
Thanks to God’s grace and the hospital’s exceptional care, the patient was discharged in good health. He is now attending regular follow-up appointments at the outpatient clinic to continue his recovery and ensure long-term wellness.
This case reflects the deep commitment and high-level expertise of Al-Mouwasat Hospital’s medical staff. With state-of-the-art equipment, a fully integrated care environment, and a team that puts patients first, the hospital continues to handle the most critical emergencies with precision and compassion. This aligns with the broader mission of Al-Mouwasat Medical Services Company to attract top medical talent and invest in the latest technologies to deliver outstanding care.
The Cardiac Surgery team at Mouwasat Hospital in Riyadh has achieved a remarkable success story, performing a highly complex and high-risk procedure on a patient in his sixties.
The patient arrived at the Emergency Department in critical condition, struggling with severe shortness of breath and lung congestion. Further evaluation revealed advanced weakness of the heart muscle, multiple blockages in the coronary arteries, and significant narrowing of both carotid arteries, reaching up to 90%.
Faced with these life-threatening challenges, a multidisciplinary team of cardiac surgeons, vascular surgeons, anesthesiologists, and intensive care specialists came together to carefully assess the case. After thoroughly explaining the condition and treatment options, the patient gave his consent to proceed with urgent surgery.
The operation included coronary artery bypass grafting along with a right carotid endarterectomy to restore blood flow and lower the risk of stroke. With God’s grace and the skill of the medical team, the patient recovered immediately after surgery without complications. Within just seven days, he was discharged in stable health and able to return to his normal life.
This successful outcome not only highlights the expertise and dedication of the medical staff but also reflects Mouwasat’s commitment to providing advanced, patient-centered care. By combining the latest medical technologies with highly specialized expertise, the hospital continues to deliver hope and healing in the most critical situations.
In an urgent response to a critical emergency, the medical team at the Emergency Department of Al Mouwasat Hospital in Madinah received a patient in his fifties who had been transferred urgently from another hospital to save his life after being diagnosed with massive clots in the pulmonary arteries, which caused a complete blockage. This led to respiratory failure, a severe drop in oxygen levels, and loss of consciousness.
According to the protocols followed at Al Mouwasat Hospital in Madinah, immediate coordination took place among the medical teams, and the patient was swiftly transferred to the Interventional Catheterization Unit, where a delicate procedure was performed to remove the life-threatening pulmonary clots via catheterization. The procedure was led by Dr. Rayan Halawani – Consultant of Interventional Radiology, in collaboration with the anesthesia team, and was completed in less than an hour.
Thanks to Allah and the expertise of the medical team, the patient’s vital signs improved immediately after the procedure. He was then transferred to the Cardiac Care Unit to continue his treatment under the supervision of a Consultant of Cardiology and Vascular Medicine, until he fully recovered and was discharged in good health to resume his normal life.
This case is yet another clear example of the medical excellence and multidisciplinary collaboration at Al Mouwasat Hospital, reaffirming the hospital’s readiness to manage critical and life-saving cases with the highest standards of quality and speed—making a real difference in patients’ lives.
