Construction for a new medical facility in Dubai Healthcare City will begin shortly, following the appointment of the main contractor on the project, the developer has said.
Developed by the Dr Sulaiman Al Habib Group, the facility will spread across six floors and more than 16,258sqm of internal space.
Arif and Bintoak Architects and Engineers are appointed as consultant for the project, and Shapoorji Pallonji International will provide contracting services for the facility.
“Having built our first hospital in the UAE in 1980 in Abu Dhabi, we are proud that over thirty years later we continue to support healthcare in the market with the same diligence,” said MD Saini, managing director and chief executive officer of Shapoori Pallonji International.
The 200-bed medical facility will feature an integrated centre for cardiac surgery, diagnostic clinics and a cardiac catheterisation unit. The structure is also expected to include three basement levels for parking space.
Dubai Healthcare City was launched in 2002 by HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum in the centrally-located Oud Metha area of the emirate. Existing facilities at the development include two hospitals, more than 120 outpatient medical centers and diagnostic laboratories.
