Penguin Location Services has officially launched Dulani دلّني — a patient wayfinding feature now live inside the MNGHA Care App of the National Guard Health Affairs (NGHA) in Saudi Arabia. The feature gives patients turn-by-turn indoor navigation directly within the healthcare app they already use, covering the NGHA Riyadh Campus and King Abdulaziz Medical City.

With more than 400,000 active users on the MNGHA Care App across iOS and Android, the Dulani launch represents one of the largest indoor navigation deployments in the MENA healthcare sector.

What Dulani Delivers for Patients

Large medical campuses present a consistent navigation challenge — patients arriving at unfamiliar buildings, searching for departments across multiple floors, and arriving late or missing appointments because they could not find their way. Dulani solves this by embedding indoor navigation directly into the MNGHA Care App, giving patients real-time location awareness and step-by-step guidance from the moment they arrive on campus.

The result is measurable: patients locate their clinics independently, arrive on time, and experience less stress throughout their visit. Staff spend less time giving directions. Appointment slot utilization improves. The operational and patient experience benefits compound across a facility serving hundreds of thousands of users.

Contributing to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030

The Dulani launch at NGHA is part of a broader digital transformation across Saudi Arabia’s healthcare sector — a priority embedded in Vision 2030’s healthcare modernization agenda. By deploying indoor navigation at scale within one of the Kingdom’s largest government healthcare networks, Penguin and NGHA are demonstrating what patient-centered digital infrastructure looks like in practice.
