Mubadala Healthcare, a unit of Mubadala Development, will open Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi (CCAD) on Sowwah Island, Abu Dhabi, in 2013.
The 364-bed hospital, expandable to 490 beds, will be organised into the five institutes of digestive disease, eye, heart and vascular, neurological, and respiratory and critical care.
Mubadala said the outside framework of the hospital was finished in October 2011 and the final phase of construction work will be completed in the second quarter of 2013.
The hospital is scheduled for a full-service opening to patients in the fourth quarter of 2013, hospital officials said.
The new hospital will be a physician-led medical facility served by western-trained, North American board certified (or equivalent) physicians.
Cleveland Clinic has a staff of 170 on ground in Abu Dhabi, including a leadership team and 75% of the physician institute chairs, 80% of whom come from the Cleveland Clinic’s Ohio campus.
