Abu Dhabi, UAE: Construction of the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Field Hospital, built under the directives and patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, has been completed near Darfur in Sudan The Field hospital was inaugurated on the 03rd of March 2021 for operations by H.E Hamad Mohamad Al Jenaibi, UAE Ambassador to Sudan along with General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, Deputy Chairman of the Sovereignty Council, Sudan.
The Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Field Hospital is a 3,800 sq/m field hospital built to help mitigate the impact and contain the spread of COVID-19, in what is one of the worst-affected African nations. It has 48 intensive care unit (ICU) beds and 160 isolation beds, as well as a host of facilities such as an outpatient clinic, pharmacy, laboratory and staff accommodation for 70. The field hospital has a life span of more than 25 years and can be converted to a regular hospital after the pandemic is concluded, allowing it to provide services to nearly 2 million who would regularly come to Darfur for medical needs.
The consortium of UAE-based partners includes building contractor Prime Project International, Tamouh Healthcare who developed the concept for Containerized Aid for Respiratory Emergencies (CARE); alongside Sudan’s local partner, DAL Group and Creative Python - all supporting the Sudanese government in building the field hospital.
CARE or Re’ayah (meaning ‘care’) aims to convert modular 40ft containers into fully equipped medical field hospitals. The economical design is assembled on site, enabling a quick build of just 48 days and delivering a durable and much needed resource. These repurposed shipping containers can be quickly deployed to countries within emerging markets, who have a shortage of ICU beds as the pandemic continues to spread.
H.E Hamad Mohamad Al Jenaibi, UAE Ambassador to Sudan, added: “The UAE is proud to offer their support to countries that are affected by Covid-19. We deployed a team of professionals to build the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Field Hospital, which was completed in record time due to the modular container design used in the field. This will make a significant difference to the local Sudanese community and we are thankful to both our local partners, led by Tamouh Healthcare and Sudan’s DAL Group, for their support.
Mr. Abdulla Al Rashdi, Chief Executive Officer at Tamouh Healthcare, said: “Tamouh Healthcare is proud to be at the forefront of the battle against COVID-19, supporting testing, healthcare and vaccine development both in the UAE and internationally. This field hospital will make a significant difference to the local Sudanese community which has been deeply affected and demonstrates how effective partnerships between government and private sector entities can be in implementing a successful humanitarian response to COVID-19 and beyond.”
