The new wing of Zulekha Hospital Sharjah, UAE, was officially inaugurated today, creating an additional 31 in-patient rooms in the hospital.
The wing was opened by Prof Dr Robert S Warren, professor department of surgery and chief of surgical oncology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).
Greeted and accompanied by Dr Zulekha Daud, founder and chairperson of Zulekha Healthcare Group, Prof Dr Warren toured the new facilities alongside dignitaries including Taher Shams, managing director, and Zanubia Shams, co-chairperson of Zulekha Hospital, as well as Dr Adil Daud, professor from UCSF.
The new $4-million wing, which was completed in three months, will support the wide range of services now provided throughout the hospital.
The expansion brings the total number of beds available at Zulekha Hospital Sharjah to 150.
“When Zulekha Hospital Sharjah opened its doors for the first time in 1992, the building featured a 30-bed set-up for patients with basic facilities in gynecology, obstetrics, surgery, medicine and paediatrics,” said Taher Shams.
“Today, we celebrate another milestone in our history for this multi-disciplinary hospital and diagnostics centre, and we are very much looking forward to opening the doors to our local community.”
Recognised as a forerunner in the UAE’s healthcare industry, Zulekha Hospital has garnered extensive recognition for its commitment towards quality care and sustainable business practices, receiving the prestigious Dubai Quality Award twice in four years, underlining its commitment to providing high quality healthcare to patients and society at large. -TradeArabia News Service
