As well as the government hospitals, there are a number of private hospitals and clinics in the Kingdom, many of which employ British or American doctors and nursing staff.
Most employers provide healthcare insurance for their expatriate employees and sometimes for their dependents. If this is not provided, the cost of hospitalization and treatment can be very high, up to SR20,000 for a broken limb and SR50,000 for a heart attack, for example. It is therefore advisable, and will soon be mandatory, to take out private health insurance, either under a local hospital contract, or with an international health insurance provider.
