The company said the programme includes a child development complex, a new urgent care centre and a five-year transformation of Royal Hospital Khalifa City. The details were reported by [EIN Presswire](https://www.einnews.com/article/951197691/live).\n\n## NMC's Abu Dhabi Investment and Royal Hospital Khalifa City\n\nNMC Healthcare is the UAE's largest integrated private healthcare platform, operating 9 hospitals, 33+ clinics and 70+ facilities across six emirates, serving 5.5 million patients annually across 50+ specialties with 1,707 doctors, according to company records.\n\nThe investment includes the growth and enhancement of Royal Hospital Khalifa City through a multi-year transformation programme, the development of a new urgent care centre at NMC Royal Hospital Abu Dhabi and a day care unit at NMC Specialty Hospital Abu Dhabi, and the opening of new clinics in Al Riyad City and Yas Mall. The programme also covers the establishment of the NMC Mowj Child Development Medical Complex in partnership with Zayed Authority for People of Determination and National Academy for Childhood Development embedded within the Zayed Authority, a multidisciplinary clinic that assesses children aged 0 to 8 for possible neuro-disabilities and is designated as an Autism Treatment Hub.\n\n\"We made a commitment to the patients we serve to bring new services and facilities to communities across Abu Dhabi and the UAE,\" said David Hadley, Chief Executive Officer of NMC Healthcare.\n\n[GulfNews](https://gulfnews.com/business/markets/nmc-healthcare-invests-dh150-million-to-expand-abu-dhabi-facilities-1.500718289) reported that the expansion adds over 20 inpatient beds, 20 outpatient rooms and 40 emergency bays, plus new orthopaedics and physiotherapy departments.
