United Arab Emirates, Dubai, 28 October, 2020: The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) inaugurated today a Hospitality Care Center, which is a center specialized in treating infectious diseases.

It is designed in a manner that provides flexibility and the possibility of expanding it to 170 rooms in case the need arises.

The center is operational round-the-clock, seven days a week and the center has already begun to receive a number of COVID-19 cases. Patients will receive high-quality care under the management and supervision of Rashid Hospital, since the center is directly affiliated with the hospital.
