These facilities are equipped with modern medical equipment and staffed by well-trained healthcare professionals, including doctors and nurses who are often bilingual, speaking both Arabic and English. The Saudi government provides free healthcare services to its citizens and expatriates working in the public sector, while those in the private sector have health insurance. The healthcare system in Al Qunfudhah, like the rest of Saudi Arabia, is regulated by the Ministry of Health, which ensures that all facilities adhere to high standards of care. In addition to general healthcare services, Al Qunfudhah also offers specialized medical services such as cardiology, orthopedics, and gynecology, among others. The city also has pharmacies that are well-stocked with a wide range of medicines. Emergency medical services are also available in Al Qunfudhah, with ambulances and emergency rooms ready to provide immediate care. The city also has facilities for maternity and child care, dental services, and preventive care. Despite these services, Al Qunfudhah, like many parts of Saudi Arabia, faces challenges in healthcare provision.

However, the government is actively working to address these issues and improve the quality of healthcare services in the city," remarked another expat who made the move to Al Qunfudhah, Saudi Arabia.
