KFSHD Patient Services Administration found that many of its patients are facing social, financial and economical difficulties, especially for those who come from other cities, which causes an increase in the number of patients to the hospital.
In the past nine months, patients have increased 28% the exact same time last year. As for the days of patient hospitalization, 13% during the same time last year.

Since the hospital started supporting the patients and their families, The Saudi Charity Society of Cancer Patients Care and Sanad Charity Society for Children Cancer Support have provided transportation and housing for cancer patients, financial and educational support as well as entertainment for children with cancer.  Those two Societies have many continuous ongoing efforts and activities to comfort the patients and their families.

One of the branches of The Ministry of Social Affairs has coordinated with the Eastern Province to set up a charity for some cases such as organ transplants, patients with kidney failure, and other medical specialties that some charity Societies are not able to help with; this will help increase the effort in this area and support other groups of patients.
