The A&E Department is accessed via a separate entrance, clearly defined from the road.

that's such a cool hospital. These days, hospitals are more like resorts which give them a unique feel.

can anyone confirm this one is under c
or is it just a proposal?

i think it's a proposal.

looks great i wonder how will SZR look in the next few years a new skyline 4 sure ;)

Very nice hospital. Looks different!

I thought SZR is only for tall buildings

well there are alot of land space there for unique projects :D

I think it will be located somewhere near Safestway area

might be ... but i think in that area there aren't enough plot size for such a project .. what do u think guys ?

It's a proposal...

then i'll move it out of here to the normal forum
hope it reaches approved status soon
maybe for healthcare city, nothing released there so far

what is the current biggest hospital in dubai, i remember when i went riyadh saudi arabia, they had so many big hospitals, they were all like 5 star hotels

absolutely no idea
never been in a dubai hospital yet :D

I really dont know, but I mention the main ones:

Government:
Dubai Hospital
Khalifa Hospital
Towam Hospital
Corniche Hospital
Mafraq Hospital

Private:
American Hosp.
WellCare Hosp.

Dubai seems extremely reliant on the private sector for healthcare needs.

Are there any plans for a major new public hospital in the New Dubai areas?

Shaheen- you are mentioning hospitals from all over the UAE. In Dubai, Dubai Hospital, Rashid, and al-Baraha are the main ones.

nice building it looks like a hotel more than a hospital

To my level of evaluation I am mentioning the good ones.

The new Al Zahra Hospital is a real project in concept phase and will be located between the 4th and 5th interchange. Possibily some action on site by March 2005

combine with other thread?

This is underconstruction, just next to The Palm Interchange, opposite The Towers project site. Middle East Foundation Group is doing the piling.

The project board is up on site, but THE DESIGN IS CHANGED!!! :bash: :bash: :bash:

Yeah there are much bigger ones BM 2000.. we have a saudi german hospital which is going to be 250 beds .. very much close to the Al Zahra one mentioned above.

A crane is up on site and another one is being assembled so I would presume that Middle East Foundation Group has compleated the piling and the main contractor has moved in.
