The amended Article 2 of the executive regulation of the Private Civil Security Guarding Law, published in Umm Al-Qura on 16 May 2025, requires hospitals to have private civil guarding around the clock, and requires private clinics and medical complexes to have guarding during working hours.
The Ministry of Health’s Security Guide for Health Facilities (General Department of Security and Safety, 1445H/2023) sets out how a facility is secured inside. The main gate operates 24/7. A security point is mandatory at every intensive care unit. Security staff are present in the nursery 24/7 to check infant ID bands and log every entry and exit. A security sweep runs every two hours per shift inside the buildings and around the perimeter. In single women’s staff housing, men are barred and female security staff handle visitors and maintenance teams.
The guide also requires the security director to comply with CBAHI standards on facility security. Separately, the Security Surveillance Cameras Law (Royal Decree M/34) lists health facilities among the sites that must install cameras, a duty that sits with the facility itself.
These duties stay with your facility. Our part is to give you the guards, female guards, patrols and written records that make them clear and documented every day, under SAIS licence 2611000012, Category One, valid to 28 April 2027.

The emergency entrance is one of the most tense points in a hospital. Ambulances need a clear lane, companions try to follow patients into critical rooms, and the MOH guide lists violence and assault against health staff among its emergency types. A private car in the ambulance bay, or an upset companion handled slowly, affects the whole medical team.
The MOH guide classes nurseries, critical care and women’s and maternity sections as sensitive areas needing strict procedures. Protecting infants from abduction calls for 24/7 security presence, ID-band checks and release only after nursing checks. In intensive care, visiting rules, PPE and visitor searches apply, especially when criminal-case patients are on the unit.
A hospital has main, staff, outpatient and services gates plus an emergency entrance, each with its own rules. With visitors arriving outside visiting hours, patients trying to leave without a discharge, and materials leaving without a security-department permit, gate control needs the same discipline on every shift.
Maternity, women’s wards and female staff housing need female guards. In single women’s housing the MOH guide bars men; female security staff receive visitors and escort maintenance teams, and female monitors and supervisors carry out inspection rounds. Government contracting controls also require female staff for women’s sections.
Your security department needs records proving the two-hourly patrols and every incident response, records a facility relies on when preparing for accreditation surveys. MHRSD rules also say a guard may not work five continuous hours without a break of at least 30 minutes, so posts that must stay staffed, such as the ER and nursery, need relief cover. When guards are pulled into reception or general tasks, gaps open at those posts.
Saudi guards on the main gate around the clock: asking drivers their destination, checking for a security-department permit before any material leaves, and admitting contractors on a valid permit. We also cover the staff gate (permit sticker and ID), the outpatient gate during clinic hours and the services gate to your instructions. Guards who speak Arabic and English are available for patients and visitors.
A fixed post at the emergency entrance that keeps the ambulance bay and drop-off zone clear, keeps companions out of critical rooms, and reports suspected violence, criminal cases and traffic-accident cases to the security operations room or the police point (911 or 999). During mass-casualty events, guard numbers are reinforced to a plan agreed in advance.
A security point at every ICU that enforces visiting rules, PPE and visitor searches to your instructions, and a 24/7 nursery post that checks infant ID bands, logs every entry and exit and releases an infant only after nursing checks. Guards also verify discharge permits for patients and children leaving inpatient, women’s and maternity units.
Saudi female guards, available in all cities, on night shifts and around the clock, for maternity, women’s wards and female staff housing. They manage access, receive female visitors, escort maintenance teams inside the housing and carry out inspection rounds, on the same contract and under the same supervision as the rest of your team.
Patrols inside the buildings and around the perimeter every two hours on every shift, covering the pharmacy, laboratories, stores, mortuary and car parks, with a written entry for every patrol, every lost item and every incident. Your security department can draw on these records when it prepares for accreditation surveys. Patrol vehicles and golf carts are available for medical cities and large sites.
Where you have a control room, our guards watch the screens, dispatch patrols to alarms and keep the occurrence log. The team works to your approved emergency plans: evacuation support, missing-child and assault codes, and clear access for Civil Defense, Red Crescent and police. Camera and access-control systems are designed and installed by your systems contractor.
We survey the facility with your security director to map the gates, ICU and nursery posts and women’s sections, then write instructions for every post, including the MOH guide’s conduct rules: patient confidentiality, no gifts and every lost item logged. The start date and handover plan are set out in the proposal.
The shift supervisor checks attendance and standards across all posts, handles escalation and speaks directly with your security department and the hospital duty manager, so you have one clear point of contact on every shift.
A daily log of patrols, events and lost property, a written report for every incident with time, location and action taken, and a monthly review with your management on attendance, observations and improvements, so your security records are ready for any audit.
If a guard is absent or on leave, the supervisor arranges a replacement who covers the same post to the same instructions, so cover stays continuous for the whole contract.
Every plan includes a relief guard, or supervisor cover, during guards’ breaks, in line with MHRSD work-environment requirements for the guarding sector, so the ER, nursery and ICU posts stay staffed at every moment.
The MOH guide calls for more guards during mass-casualty events and nursery evacuations. We agree the reinforcement plan with you in advance: which posts are reinforced, where extra guards come from and the supervisor’s role, so it is ready before you need it.
Price follows posts × hours × shifts. Under the labour law a guard works 48 hours a week (36 in Ramadan for Muslims) and one shift a day, so a 24/7 post needs about 3.5 guards on paper (168 ÷ 48) and around 4 to 4.5 in practice once leave and absence are counted. A hospital’s fixed posts, such as the main gate, ER, ICU and nursery, are therefore the main driver of your quote, with supervisors, female guards and relief cover added line by line.
Monthly or annual contracts. An annual contract suits a hospital’s permanent posts; a monthly contract suits a new facility or a trial period. A seasonal contract can be added for periods when you need extra guards.
Yes. Article 2 of the executive regulation of the Private Civil Security Guarding Law, as amended in May 2025, requires hospitals to have private civil guarding around the clock, and private clinics and medical complexes to have guarding during working hours.
Yes. Saudi female guards are available in all cities, including night shifts and around the clock. Your proposal sets out the female posts and hours, and one contract can cover male and female guards.
We build the post instructions with your security department around what the guide sets out: a 24/7 main gate, a security point at every ICU, permanent nursery presence, a sweep every two hours per shift and female guards for women’s housing. Your security department decides the procedures; our team applies them on every shift.
CBAHI accredits healthcare facilities, so it is the hospital that is surveyed. Our part is to give your security department the patrol logs, occurrence records and written incident reports it needs as it prepares for a survey. If your facility is CBAHI or JCI accredited, or preparing for accreditation, tell us in the quote request so we can size the documentation.
Yes. Where your facility has a camera system in place, our guards watch the screens, dispatch patrols to alarms and keep the occurrence log. The design, installation and maintenance of the system stay with your systems contractor.
We confirm your current contract’s end date, survey the facility and prepare post instructions and the team beforehand, then take over the logs and handover notes on the agreed day, so the ER, nursery and ICU stay covered as the outgoing team leaves.
Yes. 100% of our male and female guards are Saudi, as the Private Civil Security Guarding Law requires of all staff at guarding companies.
Saudi guards contracted through a guarding company can count toward your Nitaqat ratio under the programme’s conditions; we explain this in the proposal.
Each shift has a supervisor who checks posts and handles escalation. You receive a daily log of patrols, events and lost property, a written incident report and a monthly review.
