KFSH Madinah’s oncology services recorded further growth in 2025, with 743 patients accepted at the Oncology Centre, a 20% increase compared with 2024. Outpatient oncology visits reached 20,754, up 24.2%, reflecting wider access to cancer care across assessment, treatment planning, follow-up, and ongoing management throughout the patient journey.
