The expansion plans discussed at the meeting include the primary healthcare sector’s Umm Suqeim Health Centre, Al Qusais Health Center and Abu Hail Health Center.

The DHA is also expanding the Family Gathering Centre by constructing a new building that will provide a number of medical and social services for the elderly people.

Due to the high demand on the medical services at Dubai Hospital, the authority will conduct internal modifications at Dubai Hospital to increase its capacity and meet the demand of customers locally and abroad, DHA said.
 
The DHA will also be expanding and modifying Hatta Hospital to meet demand and offer quality services to patients.
