116 in-patient beds. Enhancing the healing environment for patients and their families

will be 19 gardens distributed across the hospital campus. Stantec, a global leader in
sustainable design and engineering, has been appointed as the architect for the project.

As part of Dubai Health, the first integrated academic health system in Dubai, the
comprehensive cancer hospital will benefit from a multidisciplinary team, including

specialised nursing, offering patients a full spectrum of care services in one location,
from early diagnosis to treatment and supportive care. Aligning with Dubai Health’s
‘Patient First’ promise, select treatments and services will be made available to patients
in the comfort of their homes, ensuring an easy and accessible continuum of care.

New model of care

The hospital will spearhead a transformative shift in care delivery, moving from a
traditional in-patient model to an ambulatory model of care. This shift includes
integrating primary care with diagnosis and treatment to offer detection and intervention

at earlier stages of the patient’s journey.

Research and clinical trials will be at the heart of the hospital’s array of services,
fostering opportunities for discovering the best patient outcomes through personalised,
patient-centric, evidence-based care.
