Princess Haya Visits Addenbrooke's Hospital
Cambridge, United Kingdom - May 13, 2010 (WAM)- Wife of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, HRH Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein, today visited Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge as part of a fact-finding initiative to visit hospitals across Europe to assist in the development of the Al Jalila Children's Speciality Hospital in Dubai. As part of Her tour, Princess Haya visited Great Ormond Street Hospital and Evelina's Children's Hospital in the UK and the Children's Cancer Ward at the Aachen University Hospital in Germany last summer.
The Al Jalila Children's Speciality Hospital in Dubai will be the first dedicated children's hospital in the United Arab Emirates. Princess Haya, during her visit to Addenbrooke's, discussed best practice in patient care, the fundamental importance of research initiatives and of first-rate medical education as a means to achieve excellence in paediatric healthcare services.
Accompanied by Dr. Mary Archer, Chairman, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Dr. Gareth Goodier, Chief Executive, Cambridge University Hospitals and other specialized doctors, Princess Haya toured the clinical areas of the hospital including the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), the Paediatric Oncology Ward and the Neurosciences Critical Care Unit.
The Cambridge children's hospital is part of the plans for the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, which will cover 140 acres rather than the current 70 occupied by Addenbrooke's and the Rosie. The campus will provide room for extensive new clinical facilities including Papworth Hospital as well as expanded services for maternity, neurosciences and cancer.
Princess Haya continues to work closely with the team at Dubai Health Authority to create the Al Jalila Children's Speciality Hospital, which was announced in December 2008 by HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum and is due to be opened in 2012.
Upon completion, the hospital will be a state-of-the-art building 200 bed children's hospital with a full-fledged Emergency Department and Outpatient Department supported by a comprehensive Imaging and Radiology Department, Nuclear Medicine, Clinical Laboratory Department, Hospital Pharmacy, Rehabilitation Services and several other offerings. Furthermore, the design of the hospital takes into account energy saving strategies to facilitate reductions in the global energy consumption. The Al Jalila Children's Specialty Hospital will also have a dedicated Helipad directly connected with the Emergency Department to accommodate any type of paediatric emergencies excluding Road Traffic Accidents.
Late last year, Al Jalila Children's Speciality Hospital won the first place in the category of ‘Future Health Projects' at the prestigious World Architecture Festival in Barcelona, Spain. – Emirates News Agency, WAM
