RIYADH: Innovation often begins with an inconvenience — a moment so frustrating it forces someone to imagine something better. That is precisely how WTDcare, now accredited by the Saudi Health Ministry and operating across the Kingdom, first came to life. What started as a personal struggle became the seed of a healthcare platform reshaping how people access care, one tap at a time.
It all began with an itch.
In 2018, recovering from surgery and stuck at home with his entire left leg in a cast, Abdulrahman Almadani tried to ignore the growing discomfort. But the itch intensified — “very annoying, disrupting my whole day routine and focus and everything,” he recalled.
With seemingly no other option, he grabbed his crutches and began the exhausting trek down four flights of stairs, wrestling both cast and crutches into a car, then inching through an ER waiting room where his case was not considered urgent.
“In their eyes I wasn’t dying — but I was dying inside,” he told Arab News. “Because I waited for around four to five hours.”
