Saudi German Hospital has signed an agreement to develop a 100-bed speciality hospital on Al Marjan Island, in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah.

Expected to be operational in early 2019, the hospital will offer seven specialities, Saudi General Hospital Group said in a statement, adding that by 2020, this number will go up to 13.

The addition of the hospital will add to our appeal as a truly integrated destination, and will help us consolidate our market-leading position as a hub for tourism and investment.”
