Johannesburg - Construction company Murray & Roberts Holdings [JSE:MUR], together with the Al Habtoor Leighton Group, has been awarded a $600m contract for the construction of Al Mafraq Hospital for SEHA, the Abu Dhabi Health Services Company, it said on Tuesday.
The hospital is designed to accommodate both current demand and future growth, and will eventually contain 739 beds and provide 139 outpatient clinics. It will serve as a centre for thoracic and orthopaedic surgery and burn treatment.
The new facility will triple the examination and treatment rooms of the existing hospital - up to 60 from the original facility's 19.
The outpatient clinic's capacity will also be increased by 58%, to 139 rooms from 88.
Nigel Harvey, MD of Murray & Roberts Contractors (Middle East), said it was an "exciting contract award in a tough and competitive Middle Eastern market".
