Cedars Jebel Ali International Hospital

This project was conceived when nothing existed in the surrounding area in terms of habitation. We were described as lunatics then for trying to put such a health structure in the middle of no where. Only the Jebel Ali industrial free zone existed with less than 1000 companies in the year 1997. Now there are more than 7500 companies and more than 140 fortune 500 companies.

We knew from the start that we are in an industrial zone environment so we laid a stress on Trauma and Occupational medicine. The extension which is being constructed now out of pressing need to fine tune the University Hospital operation will later become a low cost community hospital, an emergency and Trauma Center which will cater to the health requirements of the population of the surrounding areas which have grown in a big way over the last 7 years of our operation. Just to site few developments that took place in the Jebel Ali area and adjacent neighborhood. We will simply site the Jebel Ali free zone south, the Jebel Ali Gardens, The Discovery Gardens, The Jumeira Islands, The Jumeira Palm Island, The Dubai Marina and The Jumeira Residences with its 85 towers, The Springs, The Meadows, The Green Community, the upcoming Jumeira Palm Island and the Dubai Water Front City. The above mentioned developments happened so fast that we could not cope with the increasing demand despite the many extensions that we carried out on the present building. Now we are building a 150 beds hospital just to cope with the ever increasing demand and to gain time to fine tune the University Hospital operation before it is carried over to the Dubai Techno Park where it will take its final shape.
