Green oases as patios alongside the main corridors and in the middle of the inpatient wards provide daylight and create a pleasant area to wait alongside. The hospital as green healing oasis in the desert.
The Middle East Hospital in Riyadh was designed by Dutch Health Architects (DHA), a joint venture between EGM architects and Gortemaker Algra Feenstra, in close cooperation with Philips and DDock.
The Middle East Hospital is based on a campus structure with a general hospital, staff accommodation, cardiac rehabilitation, and a training centre. The hospital provides almost 200 inpatient bedrooms, varying from general patient rooms to VIP rooms with green oases and patios, VIP rooms with family rooms and VIP suites. The entrance building with pavilions inside leads to the main outpatient departments of the hospital such as the women’s clinic, emergency department, consultrooms, public pharmacy, nucleair medicine and imaging department. The first floor houses all medical intensive departments such as OT departments, cathlabs, ICU-CCU and delivery department. Three upper floors are used for all inpatient departments.
