Al Baraha Hospital in Dubai renamed Al Kuwait Hospital
Dubai’s Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP) has announced that Al Baraha Hospital has been renamed Al Kuwait Hospital. The Ministerial Decree No. 16 of 2019 states that Al Baraha Hospital will be replaced with Al Kuwait Hospital wherever mentioned in any federal legislation or official correspondences.
Dr Abdul Rahman bin Mohammad bin Nasser Al Owais, Minister of Health and Prevention, commented on the announcement: “The renaming of Al Baraha Hospital to Al Kuwait Hospital came in accordance with directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, in recognition of the hospital’s historic role since Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum opened it in 1966, in the presence of Sheikh Sabah Al-Salim Al-Sabah, Emir of Kuwait. Since that time, the hospital is delivering outstanding healthcare services for inhabitants of Dubai and its surroundings, in addition to providing treatment and medications.”
Youssif Al Serkal, Assistant Under-Secretary for the Ministry’s Hospitals Sector, said that the Hospital has achieved rapid growth and added value to Dubai’s healthcare system, supporting the health sector with efficient new facilities and exceeding patient expectations.
