In a strategic move reflecting the accelerating pace of innovation in the healthcare sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Company Medical Elite Diagnostics announced the launch of TuwaiqChain, the first private Saudi blockchain network specifically designed to support the uses of medical radiology and diagnostic imaging data.
This launch represents a significant shift in how sensitive medical data is managed. The Tuwaiq series provides an advanced digital infrastructure that enables the secure and immutable recording of information, with continuous verification by relevant medical authorities. This contributes to enhanced levels of trust and transparency in healthcare settings, particularly in data-critical fields such as diagnostic radiology. 
The platform was developed entirely within the Kingdom by the elite diagnostics team, ensuring its compatibility with the operational and clinical requirements of healthcare institutions, as well as its adherence to local regulatory standards. This local development also reflects the growing capabilities of Saudi companies in designing specialized technological solutions that directly address the needs of the healthcare sector.
The network began its actual operation phase in 2026, in cooperation with an initial group of hospitals and radiology centers within the Kingdom, with gradual expansion planned in subsequent phases to include a wider range of healthcare providers.
The Tuwaiq chain is based on a private blockchain architecture (Private Layer-1), which allows for maintaining the highest standards of security and reliability, while restricting access to authorized medical entities only, thus ensuring a controlled operating environment designed according to the privacy of the health sector.
This launch confirms Safwa Diagnostics’ commitment to supporting the digital transformation in the health sector, through the development of a technological infrastructure that enhances the quality of medical services and establishes the foundations for more efficient and reliable data management, in line with the objectives of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.
