When we asked members about emergency services in Saudi Arabia, they wrote...

"Emergency services in Saudi Arabia are generally reliable and efficient. Ambulance services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. To call for an ambulance, you can dial 997 from any landline or mobile phone. The emergency services operator will ask for your location and the nature of the emergency, and will dispatch an ambulance to your location," said another expat in Saudi Arabia.

"I used Kingdom Hospital, purportedly one of the best, if not the best. It was substandard. I also went to Specialized Medical Center. The staff were even less qualified. Please be careful with your health. I ended up coming back to the US for medical care," wrote a member who made the move to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
