The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) on Tuesday announced the start of the second phase of construction of the project, an ambitious initiative unveiled by His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai to promote comprehensive paediatric healthcare.
The DHA has signed an agreement with Al Futtaim Carillion for undertaking the second phase of construction of the hospital. Land levelling and preliminary construction related work have been completed.
With a developmental value of Dh673 million, Al Jalila Children’s Speciality Hospital is envisaged to offer the full spectrum of healthcare for children — from newborns to 16-year-olds — and will have several centres of excellence dedicated to cancer care, cardiology, neurology and mental health, among other specialities that are new to the region.
The first of its kind facility in the region offering super-speciality and multi-spectrum paediatric care, the hospital is set within the Al Wasl Hospital campus. The 200-bed hospital, sprawling over 100,000 sq metres, will provide the entire range of children’s healthcare services including oncology care, nephrology, cardiac care, neo-natal care, among others.
“Al Jalila Children’s Speciality Hospital will redefine paediatric care in the UAE and the wider region. The hospital will provide the highest standards of care to children, covering all relevant specialities,” said Qadhi Saeed Al Murooshid, the Director-General of DHA. “We want to provide world-class medical practices for children and add to the convenience of parents who are sometimes forced to travel abroad to seek critical care for their kids.”
The hospital will have 40 intensive care units, six dialysis facilities, 20 healing centres, 12 training rooms, eight operating theatres, 30 clinical and non-clinical departments, over 3,750 biomedical equipment and fixtures, and a multipurpose activities room for children.
