DUBAI, April 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
New hospital to be built on Umm Suqeim Road between Mall of
the Emirates and Arabian Ranches
Mediclinic Middle East today
announces plans to construct a new general hospital, similar in
scope to its existing Mediclinic City Hospital, in a strategic
location on Umm Suqeim Road between the junctions of Al Khail Road
and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road. Once finished at the end
of 2018, Mediclinic Parkview Hospital will provide international
standard healthcare services to the southern area of Dubai which is currently under-serviced by a
facility of this quality.

At up to 500,000 square feet in size, eventually employing more
than 800 staff, an initial capacity of 150+ beds and six operating
theatres, the hospital will offer in-and outpatient services
across a full range of disciplines (with the exception of
oncology which will be housed at the new wing of Mediclinic City
Hospital due for completion in mid-2016).
Since entering the UAE in 2008, Mediclinic Middle East has constantly sought
opportunities to expand its business in line with the rate of
growth of the country's healthcare sector, which has been fuelled
by an increasing population, greater penetration of insurance and a
prevalence of lifestyle diseases. In Dubai in particular, new
residential developments have increased the need for medical
services outside established areas. David
Hadley, CEO Mediclinic Middle
East said: "This new hospital will bring the same level of
service and treatment that our patients have come to expect from
Mediclinic's existing hospitals in Dubai Healthcare City and Al
Garhoud, but in a far more convenient location for those living in
'New Dubai'. At an approximate cost of AED700 million, this project
represents Mediclinic Middle East's most substantial
investment in the UAE healthcare market to date, and is testament
to our confidence in the country's economy and continued
growth."
Mediclinic Middle East is part of
Mediclinic International, one of the ten largest private hospital
groups in the world with 52 hospitals in Southern Africa, 16 in Switzerland and 12 healthcare facilities in
the UAE.
