Dubai: Expansion plans to increase the capacity of the Trauma Centre at Rashid Hospital are under way, said a senior official from the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) on August 8 Thursday.
According to the DHA, the Centre is one of the most reputable emergency medical centres in the Gulf region. It handles trauma and poly trauma cases of patients in road accidents, fall and injuries, among others. The centre also works with the UAE disaster management committee.
The expansion, which will be carried out over the next two years, will add 160 beds and 116 treatment rooms. It will be implemented along the concept of pre-engineered buildings, which means that walls will be manufactured in advance and installed directly onsite.
In the meantime, the trauma centre will continue to function as usual. |
