DUBAI, 8 November — Dubai unveiled plans for a $1.8 billion “health city” yesterday to tap into the lucrative medical and health care needs of almost two billion people who live between Europe and Eastern Asia.
“Dubai Health Care City (DHC) aims at transforming Dubai into a hub of world-class health care in the region,” said Dubai’s Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed ibn Rashid Al-Maktoum.
The project, which will be completed by 2010, will include a campus comprising a 300-bed university hospital, medical college, nursing school center for life sciences research, up to 40 clinics and hospitals and specialized laboratories. (SPA)
