At Shifa Al Khobar, we’ve noticed a clear shift in how companies handle hiring. These days, before anyone signs that final job offer, there’s one extra step popping up almost everywhere: the pre-employment medical. It used to be something you’d only hear about in high-risk fields. Construction, oil and gas, maybe heavy transport. But now? […]

At Shifa Al Khobar, we see this all the time, people walk in with signs they’ve brushed off for weeks or even months. They […]
Let’s talk honestly for a second. Women are often the glue holding everything together, family, work, friendships. They show up for everyone.
