Introduction

It was later transferred to the King Faisal University under the name “Al Khobar Teaching Hospital” which was changed to “King Fahd Hospital of the University”

It has two major campuses operating; one in Dammam, the second is in Al Hofuf, 120 kilometers apart. Due to the growing number of students, and, in order to serve the community more efficiently, King Faisal University underwent a transformation in the year 1430H (2009). It was split in two independent Universities. The University in Al Hofuf retained the original name “King Faisal University”. The Dammam campus was named “UNIVERSITY OF DAMMAM”.
