H.E. Dr. Majid bin Ibrahim Alfayyadh, Chief Executive Officer of King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre Group, opened the hospital’s new medical library facility on campus, expanding the annual access to trusted medical and scientific resources for nearly 15,000 clinicians and researchers.
The upgraded library is designed as a knowledge platform for clinical, academic and research teams, providing access to 15 major medical and scientific databases and hundreds of peer reviewed journals that support education, research and evidence based clinical practice across the hospital.
The library also provides automated digital services through a dedicated website and smart application, enabling users to access medical resources, manage bookings and requests, and use self service tools, with digital features supported by artificial intelligence to improve search, content discovery and access to relevant scientific literature.
Beyond its collections and digital services, the medical library strengthens the hospital’s academic and clinical environment by enabling medical and research teams to review the latest scientific evidence, follow developments in medical practice, and apply knowledge in education, training and clinical case discussions.
