Seven new Dubai hospital projects in pipeline

DUBAI, December 13, 2016

The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) has announced that seven new hospital projects are in the pipeline which will add to the emirate’s robust health sector.

Another four are under review, while three existing hospitals will undergo expansion.

Currently Dubai has 26 hospitals, which are among the 2833 health facilities in the Emirate.  Of these 22 are internationally accredited and four are in the process of getting accredited.

The health facilities include outpatient clinics, diagnostic clinics, pharmacies, hospitals and allied health facilities.

Dr Layla Al Marzouqi, the director of health regulation at the DHA, said: "In order to ensure that the hospitals and healthcare facilities are adding to the health services of Dubai, to prevent underutilisation or overutilisation of health facilities and to ensure newer facilities are built in geographical areas of need to improve access, the DHA’s health regulation department works closely with investors to understand their needs, to explain the healthcare needs of the emirate and to assist them with processes."

"Investors can be assured of  best return on investment and this also ensures people have access to a variety of health services," she added.-TradeArabia News Service
