Al-Dawaa Medical Services Company (Al-Dawaa), founded in 1993 in Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia, is a leading healthcare provider and the second-largest pharmacy retail operator in the Kingdom, holding a 21% market share in the pharmacy retail sector.
Listed on the Saudi Exchange (Tadawul) since March 2022 under symbol 4163, the company operates a robust network of over 950 retail pharmacies across more than 100 cities in Saudi Arabia as of 1H25, with primary concentration in the Eastern (40%) and Central (28%) regions. These pharmacies serve as the core of its business, offering a wide range of pharmaceuticals, beauty and personal care products, cosmetics, wellness items, and over-the-counter medicines, catering to daily consumer needs in health, beauty, and personal care categories.
Al-Dawaa emphasizes an omnichannel approach, integrating in-store services with online sales, mobile app-based prescription fulfillment, image consultations, and last-mile delivery. Its pharmacies feature pharmacist-led primary healthcare clinics (13+ locations) providing chronic care monitoring, vital signs checks (blood pressure, weight, BMI), medical guidance, and personalized health records to enhance customer health outcomes.
