Dubai, UAE: A new multi-specialty hospital is set to strengthen Dubai’s healthcare infrastructure, with a planned investment of AED 350 million by Aster DM Healthcare in partnership with MENASCO. Named Medcare Royal Hills Hospital, the facility will be developed in Dubai Studio City and is expected to begin operations by 2029.
The 144-bed tertiary-care hospital will feature six operating theatres and provide specialised medical services, advanced diagnostics and high-end surgical capabilities. The project forms part of Aster DM Healthcare’s commitment to invest more than AED 1 billion in the UAE over the next five years.
Dr. Azad Moopen, Founder Chairman of Aster DM Healthcare said, “Over the past 40 years, we have remained committed to building world-class healthcare institutions that serve the evolving needs of the UAE’s population. Medcare Royal Hills Hospital is yet another reflection of this commitment.
