In March 2007, she was presented with an inaugural International Women of Courage Award by Condoleezza Rice of the United States Department of State.[4][5]

In 2010, she was ranked fifth on the Power 100 list, which is Arabian Business's annual listing of the world's most influential Arabs.[2] Al-Amoudi was also later ranked by Arabian Business, as 37th in 2015 and 66th in 2016 of the "100 Most Powerful Arab Women 2016 - Healthcare & Science".[6]

Since 2012, the year she completed her cancer treatment, she has been head of the Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Al-Amoudi Center of Excellence in breast cancer and scientific chair for breast cancer at KAU, Jeddah Saudi Arabia, and is GE Healthcare's #GetFit Ambassador.[1]
