The King Faisal Specialist Hospital - Jeddah (KFSH-J), a 470-bed tertiary specialist hospital, is one of the three campuses of the King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre.

This facility was originally built as a private hospital in the 1990s; however, it was purchased by the Saudi government, and began offering services in March 2000. The KFSH-J offers 24-hour emergency care, short stay surgery, ophthalmology, dentistry, neurosciences, medical oncology, and cardiovascular services. The KFSH-J holds Joint Commission International Accreditation (JCI) status. Also, in summer 2013, the hospital earned Magnet status through the American ANCC.

KFSH&RC – Jeddah is undergoing a significant expansion, with the construction and commissioning of a new medical city located north of Jeddah, near the airport. Phase one of the new hospital will open in late 2018 or early 2019, with over 1,000 beds including 152 ICU beds and 30 operating rooms. The new complex will also include brand new housing for staff.

The KFSH-J is located in downtown Jeddah, a city of approximately 4 million, situated along the Red Sea. Cosmopolitan Jeddah has a beautiful "Old City" with buildings of historical interest, as well as modern shopping facilities, international cuisine, and a great variety of artwork. The Red Sea is especially interesting for scuba divers, and has, reportedly, the best coral reefs in the world. Also popular is taking long evening walks along the Red Sea boardwalk — The Corniche — where the lights of the city and of anchored ships illuminate the night.

Staff housing is found on the Amoudia compound. Shuttle bus services are provided free of charge by the hospital.
