- The initiative is part of a broader effort to offer profession-specific Arabic courses
RIYADH: The King Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language, in collaboration with the Riyadh Second Health Cluster, has launched the third edition of its Arabic for Health Purposes program, an educational initiative for non-Arabic-speaking healthcare professionals.
The program equips doctors and nurses with practical Arabic communication skills through an intensive two-month curriculum.
The initiative is part of a broader effort to offer profession-specific Arabic courses, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday.
It blends classical Arabic with the Saudi dialect and includes cultural activities to support integration into the local community.
Delivered through a flexible model accommodating various learning styles, it aims to enhance healthcare workers’ performance in real-world settings.
The first edition in 2024 involved four Riyadh-based healthcare facilities and benefited more than 150 practitioners.
The second edition, completed in April, served 52 participants in partnership with the Riyadh First Health Cluster.
