Dubai will invest Dh2.1b in city's first teaching hospital
|
Dubai is investing Dh2.1 billion in the city's first teaching hospital that will open after three years and offer specialist treatments.
The University Hospital will function as the main tertiary care facility within Dubai Healthcare City (DHCC) and is part of the Dh4-billion Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Academic Medical Centre. |

DHCC, a healthcare sector free zone being developed by Dubai Holding unit Tatweer, is part of government efforts to develop medical facilities that will attract patients to Dubai from the wider region, which sees people spending huge sums each year on treatments abroad.
Work is under way on the 400-bed University Hospital that will open its doors to patients in 2011, officials told reporters.
Ahmad Sharaf, senior vice-president of healthcare and energy businesses at Tatweer, said the hospital will boost "our mission to create an internationally recognised location of choice for quality healthcare."
The academic centre complex includes the Harvard Medical School Dubai Center (HMSDC), Dubai Harvard Foundation for Medical Research, Maktoum Harvard Library and Jumeirah Creekside Park Hotel.
DHCC chief executive officer Dr Muhadditha Al Hashemi told Gulf News that the hospital will employ around 2,000 staff when fully operational.
These will include 400 physicians and 1,000 nurses. Physicians at hospital will be granted academic appointments at HMSDC. "It will be the first teaching hospital in Dubai," Al Hashemi said.
Harvard Medical School is providing its expertise in setting up the facilities and will support teaching and training of doctors.
HMSDC chief academic officer Robert Thurer said the long-term aim is to ensure transfer of knowledge to local professionals and have the hospital staffed by people from the UAE and the wider region.
The hospital is expected to attract medical graduates looking for work and career training in the Gulf.
It will offer a range of diagnostic, therapeutic and experimental facilities, surgeries, imaging, clinical and surgical pathology, minimally invasive procedures, non-trauma emergency care and consultations. |
