Founded in 2005 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Batterjee Medical College (BMC) stands as a beacon of excellence dedicated to advancing the healthcare industry through innovative education, impactful research, and dedicated community service. With a robust academic portfolio encompassing 9 undergraduate programs and 3 postgraduate programs, and a significant physical presence across 3 campuses in Saudi Arabia and one international branch in Dubai, BMC's influence extends regionally and globally. Our vibrant community, comprising staff and students from over 38 nationalities, and nurtured by the achievements of over 5,000 alumni, underscores our commitment to diversity and global engagement.

From its inception, BMC has recognized that its responsibility extends far beyond academic and medical excellence. Our profound commitment to sustainable development is built on the fundamental understanding that community health is deeply interconnected with planetary health and the prosperity of generations to come. This ethos is woven into the very fabric of our institution and is strategically synchronized with both Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Acknowledging the significant environmental, social, and economic footprint of our multi-campus operations and comprehensive educational mission, BMC has proactively integrated the SDGs into the core of our strategic framework, academic programs, campus management, research priorities, and outreach initiatives. Our multifaceted approach recognizes that true progress requires interconnected and collaborative action across our entire ecosystem.

This comprehensive 2025 Sustainability Report offers an in-depth exploration of BMC's understanding, perception, and active adoption of the SDGs within this context of significant scale and diversity. It meticulously documents our diverse initiatives, activities, and endeavors across the past year, showcasing how strategic planning translates into tangible action impacting thousands. Through this report, we illuminate BMC's significant contributions to sustainable growth, enhanced community well-being, and rigorous environmental stewardship. We demonstrate how the College is not only fulfilling its core mission of educational and healthcare excellence but is also leveraging its unique position – its programs, campuses, diverse community, and growing alumni network – to be a dynamic and responsible actor, actively participating in and championing the global movement towards a just and sustainable future. Our actions today are purposefully designed to help secure a healthier, more equitable, and resilient tomorrow for our communities, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Gulf region, and the wider world.
