On the occasion, Al Khayyat told Qatar News Agency (QNA) that Algeria and Qatar have always enjoyed good fraternal relations based on mutual friendship and cooperation in several economic, cultural, and social fields. These relations have been strengthened under the leadership and directives of Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and President of Algeria H E Abdelmadjid Tebboune.

“Today we are pleased to culminate this close relationship with the inauguration ceremony of the Algerian-Qatari-German Hospital in partnership with the Algerian Ministry of Health after completing all contracting procedures between the Estithmar Holding Company and the Algerian Ministry of Health", he added. He also stressed that this new medical facility would be a basic pillar that contributes to supporting the development of the Algerian health sector for the benefit of the Algerian people and economy.

The Algerian-Qatari-German Hospital, scheduled to be opened by end of 2025, will be characterised by modernity and development and will include 300 beds, 30 intensive care units, 15 operating rooms, and 40 outpatient clinics, in addition to 20 areas designated for emergencies, as it will combine high-level medical competencies with the latest diagnostic and treatment technologies in one place. It will also be equipped to accommodate more than 250,000 visitors to outpatient clinics annually, in addition to more than 25,000 inpatients annually.

In a relevant statement to QNA, Al Sadah stressed the significance of the hospital, saying the Algerian-Qatari partnership project will contribute to meeting a comprehensive range of medical needs of Algerian citizens, especially in the field of specialised medical services such as complex heart diseases, liver transplantation, neurosurgery, scoliosis, in addition to surgical oncology, chemotherapy, and others, which will reduce the need for Algerian citizens to travel abroad for treatment.
