Maktoum Hospital facilities will be relocated gradually
DUBAI — A familiar landmark and the first stop for any expatriate for medical fitness, Al Maktoum Hospital and Health Centre in Deira will disappear soon as its medical facilities will be shifted to other locations.
The change is expected to take place in the coming 10 months.
Speaking to Khaleej Times, Director-General of Department of Health and Medical Services (Dohms) said that a project was being prepared for the hospital and a new facility for the hospital is being approved while a budget has also been fixed.
“The building is old and cannot be sustained for long, but the hospital definitely remains,” he explained, adding that the whole hospital will be shifted by the year 2007.
He said that the Medical Fitness Centre will be shifted to a new facility at Ras Al Khor while some departments will be adjusted in Rashid Hospital and Satwa Clinic.
“A new Occupational Health and Medical Fitness Centre for the labourers will be opened in Satwa Clinic in two weeks time. This will only address the needs of labourers and provide basic treatment to them. It will not handle any major cases,” explained Al Murooshid.
He also said that the clinic will provide medical certificates and occupational health related specialised services to labourers.
Another medical centre called the Al Bide Health Centre has been opened in Satwa after the closure of the centre in Rashid Hospital.
Al Maktoum Health Centre has always been considered a leading centre in modern health care. It is a central part of the Primary Health Care section of Dohms.
The Primary Health care consists of 20 health centres and peripheral clinics throughout Dubai on a ratio of health of one health centre or clinic to every 30,000 persons. The geographical distribution of these centres takes in consideration the ease of accessibility of patients to them.
The health centres are constructed and equipped with the necessary medical facilities and staffed with qualified health workers trained to serve in this field.
