Riyadh

Hi,
So i finally reached Riyadh yesterday.

I have an ankle injury which might be sports related; it just happend after a jog+gym+swimming session 2 days ago and i had to travel the next day. Symptom is similar to edema (swollen ankles) but i need to show a doctor to be sure.

Can anyone give a tip on how to reach a doctor and which doctor or clinic or hospital to go to.
My compound is in wadi hanifah and not a lot of civilization seems to exist near walking distance of this place so i guess i'll have to somehow manage to reach any of the main areas.
Appreciate any info that will help me get there.

Note: I reached yesterday on a work visa so the iqamah is not ready yet; in case that's relevant for getting treatment at hospitals.

thanks

Hi itadvisor
welcome to Saudia, hope you spent a good time here.

look, you can go to Hammadi Hospital or Dalah or Kingdom Hospital.
and have a full check.

And also you can do one thing, usually employers deal with specific clinics. So ask the HR if they advise to which clinic you can visit?
