Al Mafraq Hospital

Abu Dhabi, UAE

Mafraq Hospital is a 451-bed tertiary hospital situated on a prominent site in Abu Dhabi within 35 kilometers of the future Abu Dhabi Central Business District. Surrounded by an environmentally sensitive landscape design, the hospital is distinguished architecturally by four prominent patient towers designed in a bold, contemporary style that serves as a perfect complement to the hospital’s state-of-the-art healthcare.

The hospital will initially provide 451 beds and is designed to expand internally up to 745 beds to accommodate the increased healthcare needs of a growing population. Mafraq provides a wide range of specializations including orthopedics, general surgery, the neurosciences, vascular, thoracic, pediatric, plastics, cardiovascular, and ENT/maxillofacial, as well as general medicine such as cardiology and gastroenterology, general obstetrics, and pediatric care. Critical care extends to cardiac and general intensive care, neonatal intensive care, and the specialist burns unit.

Each tower contains no more than 30 single rooms per floor, and each floor features nursing stations and patient control centers. All rooms have large windows and ample natural light. Special VIP floors cater to patients requiring additional privacy and attention. In addition to providing enhanced patient environments, the entire facility is designed for long-term efficiency, sustainability and maximum energy savings, with rooftop gardens and the latest energy conservation devices. AE7 partners were involved in this project as the managing and design directors of Burt Hill’s UAE offices, overseeing the client and team on a daily basis.
