Perkins Eastman was selected by the Dubai Health Authority to design the most sophisticated Accident and Emergency Hospital of its kind in the UAE. The design creates a facility capable of providing immediate care for minor- to high-level trauma accidents and emergencies.

The 300-bed, 85,000 sm (914,000 sf) facility includes two five-story nursing unit wings with a mix of private, two-bed, and four-bed rooms and extensive critical care services. A separate three-story clinical services component includes an emergency department capable of handing up to 70,000 visits annually, along with a surgical suite with 18 operating theaters and recovery. A rooftop helipad and an ambulance receiving area are directly linked to a surgical trauma operating suite and a diagnostic imaging unit with MRI, CT, and X-ray capabilities. Additional spaces for diagnostic imaging, surgery, endoscopy, lab functions, and an outpatient clinic are also included in the facility’s design.

The highly integrated design provides significant flexibility and a focus on patient care and family needs by utilizing the most advanced medical technology, international design, and healthcare planning solutions available.
