In addition, natural lighting has been incorporated into the building design as much as possible. The establishment of this hospital has been achieved as a result of the diligent and continuous work between the Private Engineering Office and Hamad Medical Corporation, benefiting from their previous experiences, where three previous hospitals were implemented (Ras Laffan Hospital - Hazm Mebaireek Hospital - Mesaieed Hospital) as well as health centers and major clinics such as the Health Center in the industrial area and the Asian Village Medical Clinic in the industrial area.
With the commencement of phase one of operations at Aisha Bint Hamad Al Attiyah General Hospital, the Hospital will receive emergency cases with non-life-threatening medical conditions, especially since its location is near to Al Bayt Stadium and Lusail Stadium, where it is located on the intersection No. 47 on Al Khor Coastal Road and is easily accessible.
Present at the opening ceremony were Her Excellency Dr. Hanan Mohamed Al Kuwari, Minister of Public Health, and His Excellency Mr. Mohammed bin Mutlaq Al Qahtani, Vice President of the Private Engineering Office.
