dorma+kaba wins contract for Jordan hospital work
King Hussein Cancer Center expansion project in Jordan is expected to complete in late 2016
Swiss access and security provider dorma+kaba has announced that it has won a contract to provide door solutions for the King Hussein Cancer Center (KHCC) expansion project in Jordan.
The company will provide solutions for all doors that are open and accessible to a wide variety of people including patients, doctors, care staff, administrative personnel, visitors and suppliers for the planned expansion.
It will also provide a detailed design and execution for all opening access solutions that will be compatible with all door types including hollow metal, wooden, aluminum and glass.
The King Hussein Cancer Center expansion will consist of an inpatient tower and outpatient building that will double the capacity of the existing centre. It will provide improved, integrated space for patient care, research and education.
The 13-floor inpatient tower will have 182 additional single occupancy patient rooms, an expanded diagnostic imaging and radiotherapy unit, an expanded bone marrow transplantation unit and adult and pediatric specialty ICUs.
It will also have specific floors dedicated to pediatric patient wards and separate floors for adult patient wards.
The project is expected to complete in late 2016.
Elias Jaalouki, country sales manager for MEA at dorma+kaba, said: “dorma+kaba has over 2 decades of experience and a strong presence in the MEA region. We are extremely pleased to have won the KHCC project. Owing to our global expertise we are delighted to provide a broad range of security solutions from our wide range of healthcare sector portfolio.
“KHCC treats over 3500 new cancer patients each year. With such heavy flows of people, security is very important, and access control is a central concern. Selective, individualized access has to be granted to different security areas, and has to be designed in such a way that patients’ privacy and dignity is always guaranteed and that is what we are aiming at.”
