The Project

Anglo Arabian Healthcare Group acquired Amina Hospital in Ajman as a recovery project, which had been abandoned mid-way through the construction phase. The project’s revitalized aim was to develop this into a high-end Healthcare facility following International standards under Anglo Arabian ownership. The hospital was to be operational as a fully functional specialist facility with all Diagnostic and Treatment facilities, including four state-of-the art operating theaters, laboratory and imaging suites with CT scan and MRI. A full A&E department with Trauma and a full OBGYN suite with NICU and pediatrics. The facility was to serve as a leading Private Sector Healthcare provider for Ajman and the Northern Emirates.

Our Appointment

We were appointed as the project and design manager working in the capacity of design manager in the pre-contract stage and as project manager/client representative during the post contract construction, testing-commissioning and handover stages. This involved extensive coordination with the main contractor and all the stakeholders, including the client/operator team. The challenge was to convert a half constructed medical facility designed for limited medical functions to a high end, multi-specialty hospital adhering to all International standards of healthcare and wellness. The project started in early 2014 and was handed over to the operator mid-2016.

The Benefit

Due to our extensive track record in healthcare deliveries and handling of ‘recovery’ projects, we were instrumental in steering this project with an in-depth knowledge of regional specifications and authority regulations in addition to performing the role of a key facilitator and advisor to the client. Working with an existing building with limited scope for expansion meant devising effective strategies to implement and deliver spaces according to the ambitious medical space programme developed by the client’s operations team. This meant working closely with the design team and the contractor’s team to come up with solutions that were both buildable and cost efficient.
