By integrating treatment, research, and comprehensive patient support, the hospital aims to set a new standard for cancer care. 

Located in Dubai Healthcare City Phase 2, the 59,000² m hospital is envisaged to host 53 clinics, 21 clinical research areas, 60 infusion rooms, 10 urgent care rooms, 5 radiotherapy rooms, and 116 inpatient beds. Designed with well-being in mind, the hospital will also include 19 tranquil gardens for patients, their families, and the hospital community. 

The Hamdan Bin Rashid Cancer Hospital will serve as a center of excellence for cancer treatment and research in the region, and is being made possible through the generous donations received through Al Jalila Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Dubai Health.
