Algeria is strengthening its health system with an ambitious project: a 300-bed Algerian-Qatari-German hospital in Sidi Abdallah, Algiers. This project, the result of international collaboration, represents an investment of $290 million, 60% financed by Qatar and 40% by Algeria.
Health Minister Abdelhak Saihi stressed the importance of this facility, calling it a “pride for Algeria.” He stressed the free health services that will be provided, saying that this hospital is part of “expanding the prospects for economic cooperation between Algeria and Qatar.”
According to Mohamed Badr Al-Sadah, CEO of the holding company “Estithmar” and chairman of the board of directors of the Algerian-Qatari company for health services, the facility will be at the cutting edge of technology. It will include “30 intensive care units, 15 operating rooms, 40 outpatient clinics, in addition to 20 areas dedicated to emergencies.” Al-Sadah specified that the hospital “will bring together high-level medical skills and cutting-edge technologies in diagnosis and treatment in one place.”
The facility aims to “address a wide range of medical needs,” including in specialized areas such as “complex heart disease, liver surgery, neurosurgery and spinal deformity, as well as oncological surgery and chemotherapy.”
The Minister of Industry and Pharmaceutical Production, Ali Aoun, expressed “Algeria’s willingness to strengthen cooperation with Qatar in the field of pharmaceutical production, to support this hospital and develop means of cooperation in similar fields.”
