Speaking to media after the inauguration ceremony, Al Emadi said that the upgrades and renovations were done to meet the increasing demand of guests. He added that the hotel-like service at hospitals has become a new integral part of healthcare services.
“Hotel services are a group of non-medical services that will provide standards of psychological comfort for the patient throughout his stay in the hospital. In a way, that improves guests’ impression about hospital services, and includes four main axes, namely reception and guest service, which is entrusted with receiving and following up with patient from the moment he enters until he leaves from the hospital,” said Al Emadi.
He also said that Al-Ahli Hospital has taken several other areas into interest including maintaining good hygiene in the hospital, upgrading the interior, maintaining green space around the hospital, providing quality and safe food to guests.
Deputy CEO of Al-Ahli Hospital and Director of Projects and MediCare, Jamal Saleh Hammad said that at present expansions and renovations are mainly Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department and it will be soon expanded to the Medical and Surgical Departments.
“Once the whole expansion plan is completed, we will be having three imperil suits, three royal suits, nine VIP suits and all rooms be renovated,” he said.
“With the renovation rooms are fully furnished and automated, guests can control everything with their mobile connected to a panel in the room and they can control the TV, air conditioner, curtain and order food,” he said.
Al-Ahli Hospital has also expanded its car park with 300 slots.
