Abu Dhabi: Health officials have identified a “critical capacity gap” in intensive and critical care treatment across the emirate of Abu Dhabi.
Statistics published on Tuesday by the Health Authority Abu Dhabi (Haad) for last year have shown that more hospital beds in intensive and critical care units are needed to meet demand.
It is not the first time that Abu Dhabi’s critical-care provision has come under scrutiny. In June last year, Haad published recommendations that stated that the emirate’s 594 critical care beds were operating at between 95 to 100 per cent capacity and that 216 additional beds were needed by 2031. |
