Overview.

Our rheumatology team treats inflammatory and degenerative conditions of the joints, bones and immune system. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, ankylosing spondylitis and other immune conditions enter a structured pathway combining consultant clinics, biologic infusion therapy and joint clinics with orthopaedics where surgical input is needed. Early diagnosis and treat-to-target principles guide every plan.

Frequently asked

Questions before you book.

  • Biologics are now well-established. Pre-treatment screening (TB, hepatitis) and ongoing monitoring keep risks low. Most patients tolerate them well.

  • Rheumatoid is autoimmune and inflammatory; osteoarthritis is degenerative wear-and-tear. Treatment is very different — get the right diagnosis first.

  • Yes, with planning. Some medications need to be stopped before conception; others are pregnancy-safe. We optimise the regimen pre-pregnancy.

  • Yes. We diagnose and manage fibromyalgia with a combined approach of medication, physiotherapy, sleep care and education.

  • No. The aim is to use the lowest dose for the shortest time, with steroid-sparing immunosuppression for long-term control.

  • Most major Saudi insurers cover biologic therapy with prior authorisation, which our team handles for you.
