A feasibility study drawn up by France's Ingerop Grand Estenvisaged a 300-bed hospital, although this could be increased to take account of an agreement with Ireland's Royal College of Surgeons to set up a training college at the site. Total project costs are estimated at about BD 28 million ($74 million), BD 15 million ($39.5 million) of which is being provided by the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development. As a condition of the loan, the construction work must be done by a consortium comprising both local and Kuwaiti companies.
Completion of the four-storey, 43,000-square-metre hospital is scheduled for 2007, with construction taking about 24 months. Client responsibility is shared between the Works & Housing Ministry and the Health Ministry (MEED 17:10:03).
