The 100-bed multi-speciality facility will be located at Dubai Hills, in the heart of Mohammad Bin Rashid City. Being built at a cost of USD200 mn, the hospital is expected to bring British expertise and quality to the health-care sector in the UAE.
Dr Layla Al Marzouqi, director of Health Regulation and the Dubai Medical Tourism Project at Dubai Health Authority, hailed the move as a major boost to Dubai’s medical tourism.
