  • Saudi Genome Project
  • Bariatric Registry
  • Autism National Program
  • Cerebral Palsy National Program
  • Cardiac Rehab Program

Saudi Human Genome Project

Mission of the Saudi Genome Project is to identify genetic basis of disease in the Saudi population utilizing state of the art genome sequencing and bioinformatics. Genetic Information is transforming the future of healthcare by enabling rapid, accurate, affordable diagnostic and prognostic screening targeted towards better monitoring and treatment of patients.

  • Understanding the genetic basis of disease is the key for prevention.
  • Create the foundation for personalized medicine in the Kingdom.
  • Build infrastructure and capacity in the rapidly advancing field of genomics.
  • Create a national network of 15 genome sequencing centers.
  • Create a Knowledgebase of gene variants, both normal and disease-causing.
  • Read ~100,000 Saudi genomes representing normal and disease conditions.
  • Analyze data to find the Saudi-specific gene variants.
  • Model for other nations to follow.

Saudi National Bariatric Registry

The Saudi National Bariatric Registry (SNBR) is the first registry that will collect data for patients who had bariatric surgery. Sultan Bin Abdulaziz Humanitarian City is one of active medical centre that perform more than one thousand bariatric surgeries annually.

  • A Quality of life questionnaire for cerebral Palsy and their caregivers.
  • The National CP registry.
  • The genetic panel for CP patients in Saudi Arabia.

Saudi National Cardiac Rehabilitation(SNCRP)

The Saudi National Cardiac Rehabilitation(SNCRP) as part of the city's innovation, the SBAHC Cardiac Rehabilitation program was initiated on 28 September 2021 in order to help cardiac patients regain their strength, prevent the worsening of their condition, reduce the risk of future heart problems, and improve their health and to achieve quality of life, through:

  • Multiple relatable questionnaires have been translated and validated.
  • The Professional Saudi National Cardiac Rehabilitation Workshops.
  • The genetic panel of Cardiac patients in Saudi Arabia.
