KFSHRC wins Global Excellence Award for 3D Printing Project
The Saudi-based healthcare project has enhanced diagnostic precision and surgical intervention efficiency, and has significantly reduced costs and time
King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre (KFSHRC) has been awarded the Global Excellence Award in Technology Project Management for 2024 by the Global Project Management Forum (GPMF) for its pioneering 3D Printing Project. The project has revolutionized healthcare delivery – enhancing diagnostic precision and surgical intervention efficiency and has significantly reduced costs and time.
The 3D Printing Project, executed following global best practices in project management, provides highly accurate and customized in-house-manufactured medical models. This project accelerates medical interventions by enabling physicians to pre-plan surgeries using 3D printed models – resulting in a 30% reduction in surgery duration, shorter hospital stays, and minimized potential risks – collectively delivering more predictable and precise outcomes while significantly improving the patient experience.
As part of its forward-looking vision, KFSHRC aims to expand its 3D printing services and explore new applications to transform healthcare by replacing traditional methods with cutting-edge digital technologies.
The Global Excellence Award for Project Management recognizes innovative projects that drive tangible transformations within organizations and enhance client experiences. Its Technology Project of the Year category honors the most creative, successful, and transformative initiatives in the tech sector, delivering significant organizational and customer-focused improvements.
