The well-equipped modern hospital will be able to bring in some excellent physicians for conducting the medical check-ups as an alternative rather than sending patients abroad to receive treatment.

“Patients suffering from chronic diseases are sometimes sent abroad for medical treatment, but the Royal Hospital will provide a solution by inviting renowned doctors and experts from abroad to deal with such cases, ” said Dr Shaikh Sultan on the occasion.


The Royal hospital is located in Sharjah opposite Sharjah International Airport.

At the inaugural ceremony, Dr Shaikh Sultan was accompanied by Shaikh Sultan bin Mohammed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Sharjah. A large number of Sheikhs, ministers and senior officials were also present.

After opening the hospital, Shaikh Sultan went on a tour of the hospital. The facility has 160 multi-function beds. It has separate VIP wards, including 4 presidential wards, 6 royal wards, and 12 special wards.

The Ruler also visited the maternity wards and facilities for the mother and child care.

The hospital has 37 single private rooms, in addition to a number of two-bed and four-bed rooms.

The Minister of Health, Humaid Mohammed Obaid Al Qutami, said that the Royal Hospital was another addition to excellent medical services available in Sharjah. It highlights the increased investment being made in the health sector specially in view of the population growth witnessed recently in the country.

“The private hospitals play complementary role with the government hospitals in serving the community. There is a close relationship between the two sectors which are all striving to provide the best health services to both nationals and expatriates,” Al Qutami observed.
