Sharjah gives go-ahead for innovative health and research district

WAM

Sharjah has approved plans for an advanced health and research district establishing an integrated network of healthcare systems, featuring hospitals, laboratories, and research and development centres.

Jawaher Boston Medical District has been green-lighted by H.H. Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah.

The project is a joint collaboration between BEEAH Group, Mass General Brigham Hospitals Network and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

During the meeting, His Highness reviewed a detailed presentation on the project, which is also expected to contribute significantly to medical studies and research fields in general, by utilising the expertise of the project’s collaborators as well as other scientific and research institutes in Sharjah.

It'll be located on the Emirates Bypass Road next to Sharjah Mosque, and cover a range of specialities, including lifestyle and prevention medicine, oncology, women's health, paediatrics, cardiovascular diseases, neurosciences, behavioural health, and rehabilitation.

It will also expand the network to reach homes, schools, workplaces, and residential neighbourhoods in Sharjah.
