Hi, can an expat get a referral to see an oncologist in King Fahad specialist hospital Dammam Oncology center? If yes, what would be the procedure? Where else are chemotherapy services available in Dammam or Khobar or jubail?

Almana provides chemotherapy, you will have to ask a private hospital or a primary health care government clinic to provide the referral to KFSH

@ektarajoria Hi.

If you are under insurance class A, Almana General Hospital Dammam accepts oncology case; they have well trained staff and oncologist as well.

On the other hand, If you prefer to be treated in King Fahad Specialist Hospital (oncology specialized), they are also accepting cases nowadays under insurance and started using ucaf for the approval.
