Abu Dhabi is enhancing its healthcare leadership through a qualitative expansion in specialized rehabilitation services, as the emirate continues its efforts to become a prominent center for advanced healthcare in the region. This initiative includes the development of specialized medical infrastructure aimed at improving the quality of health services and promoting medical tourism. Among the latest projects, Capital Health’s Specialized Rehabilitation Hospital announced the commencement of a major expansion, which will make it the largest integrated rehabilitation hospital in the UAE by the end of 2028.
Specialized Rehabilitation Hospital Expansion Project
The groundbreaking ceremony for the project was attended by several prominent figures, including Dr. Faiza Al Yafai, Executive Director of the Healthcare Quality Sector at the Department of Health in Abu Dhabi, Abu Bakr Al Khoury, CEO of Abu Dhabi Capital Group, along with Khalifa Al Mazrouei and Dr. Mishal Al Qasimi. The project aims to enhance the specialized healthcare system in Abu Dhabi and expand its capabilities in the field of medical rehabilitation.
Advantages of the New Services
The new project will include the establishment of a state-of-the-art facility adjacent to the current hospital building, which will feature inpatient rehabilitation services, outpatient specialized clinics, orthopedic and musculoskeletal care, neurology, sports medicine, as well as physical medicine and cardiac rehabilitation.

The expansion works are expected to increase the hospital’s capacity to more than 230 inpatient rehabilitation beds, in addition to over 30 outpatient clinics and treatment rooms, and approximately 12 rehabilitation halls in the Bayt Al Qudra Sports Hall. Upon completion, the hospital will become the largest integrated rehabilitation facility in the UAE, offering an unprecedented number of beds and clinics under one roof.
