This expansion will include the construction of an 11-storey bed tower, helping the hospital to become a 100% private-room facility.
In addition, it will expand the hospital’s surgical capabilities, emergency unit, and advanced cardiac care programmes.
The project will encompass approximately 600,000ft², adding over 100,000ft² through the new construction and upgrade of the current hospital.
It is expected to create new jobs and enhance the hospital’s capabilities to align with major academic medical centres.
