Surgical gloves and gowns in Saudi Arabia are the sterile gloves and barrier gowns used in operating theatres, alongside examination gloves and isolation gowns for wards. This page lists Saudi suppliers and sets out what SFDA expects: the recognised glove standards in guidance MDS-G004, gown classes under EN 13795 and AAMI PB70, storage across long hot distances, and NUPCO tender points.
Khobar has one of the denser hospital clusters in the Eastern Province. The governorate reports eight hospitals with 2,809 beds, ten primary care centres and fifty-eight dispensaries. Al-Salam Hospital, with a stated capacity of 500 beds, was inaugurated by the Eastern Province governor in May 2023, and the Eastern Province Secretariat has awarded a medical city in Al-Aziziyah on more than 32,000 square metres under a 50-year investment contract, reported in May 2025. Each new facility generates equipment orders. The sector hub is healthcare and medical equipment.
Hospitals fitting out wards and theatres compare hospital beds, patient monitors, medical gas systems and sterilization equipment. Imaging and lab departments look at X-ray equipment and laboratory equipment. Clinics and day-surgery units, which are common in a commercial city, buy dental equipment and surgical instruments in smaller lots. For pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment, see the Dammam page.
Medical devices must be authorised by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority, and hospitals are licensed by the Ministry of Health. Imaging rooms need radiation shielding checks, and Civil Defense approves fire and life safety for patient areas. Ask suppliers for the device registration number, not just a brochure claim, and check the local service agent named on it.
Request installation, calibration and training in the quote, and ask where spares are held in the Eastern Province. For medical gases, confirm the pipeline testing and certification standard. Public hospitals buy through government tender platforms, while private operators negotiate directly, so ask which route applies. To collect comparable offers, post a requirement. Hospitals in the city compete for specialists, so equipment that is easy to learn and well supported by the supplier's training team often wins over the lowest price.
Khobar is the commercial and residential core of the Dammam metropolitan area, so most of its business is offices, trading, hospitality, healthcare and services rather than heavy plant. The 2022 census counted 409,549 people in the city and 658,550 in the governorate, and the city sits between Dammam and Dhahran, the headquarters of Saudi Aramco, about twenty minutes from each. Its streets follow a grid, with older markets around Suwaiket Street and shopping malls elsewhere. The two universities nearby, King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals and Prince Mohammad bin Fahd University, add engineering and research demand.
Factories are a short drive away. Dammam First Industrial City is reported to hold 124 factories, and Dammam Second Industrial City spreads over about 6,000 acres along Highway 615 with some 120 operating plants and more under construction. The Dhahran to Jubail Expressway leads north to Jubail Industrial City for large petrochemical and heavy industry. Khobar buyers usually order from the estates and have goods delivered into town.
Khobar once served as Aramco's early port, but commercial shipping later moved to King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam, which handled about 2.04 million TEU of capacity in 2022, and petroleum exports moved to Ras Tanura. A new waterfront port is described as under construction south of the South Corniche. King Fahd International Airport is roughly 50 km away, reached by the Khobar to Dammam Highway (605). The nearest railway station is in Dammam, on a 449 km line through Abqaiq and Hofuf to Riyadh.
The King Fahd Causeway to Bahrain opened on 25 November 1986 and is about 25 km long. After works completed in June 2020 it reopened for commercial transit traffic, with new gates on the Saudi side. Rules for trucks change, so ask your forwarder for the current customs procedure before you plan a Bahrain leg.
Building and municipal matters fall under Al-Khobar Municipality, one of five municipalities in the Eastern Province Amana, which is headquartered in Dammam and reports to the Ministry of Municipalities and Housing. Factory land and ready units in the industrial cities come through MODON. Private hospitals work with the Ministry of Health, and fire and life safety approvals come from Civil Defense. Customs clearance is handled by ZATCA at the port or border. Check each authority's own platform for the current steps.
Oil and gas contractors and engineering firms keep offices here to be near Aramco. Hospitals, malls, hotels and towers need cooling, security, cleaning and maintenance. The governorate reports eight hospitals with 2,809 beds, and private hospital capacity has kept growing, so medical supply is a steady buyer.
