The UAE Aid Agency has signed an agreement with the Government of Chad in order to build the Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak Hospital and a dialysis center in the capital, N’Djamena.
As part of the agreement, the parties intend to develop and operate a new hospital in N’Djamena, Chad, on an 11,300-square-meter site provided by the government. Of the total area, 9,500 square meters will be dedicated to the hospital facility itself, while the remaining 1,800 square meters will be allocated for residential accommodations for medical staff.
An additional area of 4,200 square meters will be allocated for the construction of a dialysis center equipped with the latest medical technology and devices. The agreement was signed on the UAE side by Dr. Tareq Ahmed Al Ameri, Chairman of the UAE Aid Agency, and Tahir Hamid Nguilin, Minister of Finance and Budget of Chad.
Tahir Hamid Nguilin said that, “The government of Chad thanks the UAE, and the UAE Aid Agency, which will supervise the construction and administration of the Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak Hospital and the Dialysis Centre in N’Djamena.”
“This will significantly enhance medical services in our capital. Having an advanced healthcare facility will also have a positive impact on the overall development of our country, creating jobs for the local population, as well as economic opportunities in the provision of services such as transportation, food, gifts, and other necessities,” the Chad Minister added.
Dr. Al Ameri explained that the Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak Hospital in N’Djamena will include 11 specialized clinics, including pediatrics, gynecology, dentistry, orthopedics, urology, ophthalmology, ENT, dermatology, internal medicine, cardiology, and general medicine. The hospital will have 100 beds, three operating rooms, and three delivery rooms.
The UAE Aid Agency Chairman further noted that the hospital will benefit more than 1.7 million people, while the 80-bed dialysis center will serve more than 9 percent of the population of the Chadian capital.
