American Hospital Dubai Breaks Ground on Three Centres, Targets Six Hospitals by 2035

The plan covers a hospital for women and children, a centre for outpatient clinics and day surgery, and a hospital for orthopaedics and sports medicine. All three will be built near the multi-specialty American Hospital at Dubai Science Park, which opened earlier this year. Dubai Science Park is part of TECOM Group. The announcement did not give a cost for the project or say when the centres will open.

Work will proceed in phases. The first phase sets up a dedicated project team to handle planning, design, the operating model and oversight of the women and children's hospital. The outpatient and day-surgery centre and the orthopaedics and sports medicine hospital will follow.

The hospital said the new centres will use artificial intelligence for medical diagnosis, operational efficiency and predictive care, alongside research-backed treatment programmes tailored to patients' needs. It did not name the systems or suppliers involved.

The groundbreaking was attended by Butti Obaid Al Mulla, chairman of Mohammed & Obaid Al Mulla Group; Abdulla Belhoul, chief executive of TECOM Group; Sherif Beshara, chief executive of American Hospital Dubai; Ammar Al Malik, executive vice president of TECOM Group's commercial sector; and Marwan Abdulaziz Janahi, senior vice president of TECOM Group for Dubai Science Park.

Janahi said continued investment in specialised healthcare infrastructure strengthens Dubai's position in medical innovation and life sciences. He said he looked forward to the hospital's contribution in line with the "We the UAE 2031" vision and the Dubai Social Agenda 33.

Beshara said the hospital's mission had always centred on giving more people access to its medical services, and that the expansion reflected that commitment.
