From London to the Middle East

Current State

In January 2019, we inaugurated a new state-of-the-art 100 bedded tertiary care hospital in Dubai, UAE, in partnership with local and UK investors. We are now coming to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia bringing a similar model of top class integrated British Healthcare.

21st Century

KCH has continued to grow and develop. In 2003 Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II officially opened the Golden Jubilee Wing.

In 2006 we became a Foundation Trust. This means that, while we remain part of the NHS, we are free from central (UK) government.

1990

The Wellcome Clinical Investigation Unit opened in 1990 and, in 1991, an extension was added to the Dental School building, which also housed the Day Surgery Centre.

In 1993, the newly formed King’s Healthcare Trust took over management of the hospital, and in 1994 the Caldecot Centre for Sexual Health opened.
