About Aya Specialist Hospital
The first specialist hospital for women in the Western Region — founded on international standards and kept deliberately close to its patients.
Founded to do one thing properly
Aya Specialist Hospital was established in Jeddah as the first hospital in the Western Region built specifically around women, childbirth, fertility and children — not as a department inside a general hospital, but as the whole purpose of the building.
It was founded under the full supervision of Professor Fatima Al-Otaibi, professor of obstetrics, gynaecology, infertility and IVF. She graduated from the Faculty of Medicine at King Abdulaziz University, completed her Canadian Fellowship in obstetrics and gynaecology at the University of Ottawa, and subspecialised at the University of Western Ontario in infertility, IVF, endoscopic and laser surgery, and reproductive endocrinology. She returned to the Kingdom to teach and research at King Abdulaziz University, rising to full professor, and served for more than fifteen years as a consultant at Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Hospital before founding Aya.
That history explains how the hospital is organised. Obstetrics, fertility and paediatrics were designed to work as one continuous service, because that is how a family actually experiences them.
Exceptional, comprehensive care on international standards

What is different about being treated here
Three specialties, one hospital
Obstetrics, fertility and paediatrics sit in the same building. A woman who conceives with us is delivered by us, and her baby is looked after on the same floor — no referrals, no starting again elsewhere.
Care led by women, for women
Our obstetrics and gynaecology clinics are led by senior female consultants, with female nursing throughout — so that modesty is never something you have to ask for.
A fertility centre with its own laboratory
Our IVF unit runs an on-site embryology laboratory with controlled air handling and continuous monitoring, so your embryos never leave the building.
Open every hour of the year
Emergency obstetrics, paediatrics and pharmacy run 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Labour does not keep office hours, and neither do we.
Rooms that feel like rest
Private and VIP maternity suites with room for your family to stay, so the first days with your baby happen somewhere calm.
Care in your language
Consultations in Arabic and English, with the major insurers accepted and a booking team that will tell you what is covered before you arrive.
A teaching hospital, not just a treating one
Aya Academy is our education and research arm — training the next generation of clinicians, keeping our own staff current, and contributing to the evidence base in women’s and children’s health.
Life support courses
Accredited resuscitation training for clinical staff and for visiting practitioners — basic and advanced life support, neonatal resuscitation, and obstetric emergency drills run on our own wards.
Residency training — SCFHS accredited
A residency programme accredited by the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties, with structured rotations, supervised operating and clinic lists, and consultant-led teaching throughout.
Research
Clinical research in obstetrics, assisted reproduction and neonatal care — audit, outcome registries and collaborative studies, so that what we do here is measured rather than assumed.
IVF Fellowship Programme — SCFHS accredited
A subspecialty fellowship in reproductive medicine and assisted conception, accredited by the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties, trained inside our own embryology laboratory and fertility clinics.
