The hospital, part of the UAE's 'Gallant Knight 3' and 'Chivalrous Knight' humanitarian operations has a dedicated team of 100 medical staff, 100 beds, operating rooms, and essential medical facilities.

It's also equipped with a helipad and boat ensuring swift responses to emergencies.

Patients undergo thorough evaluations before receiving appropriate treatment, including surgeries and medical programmes.
