The oil-rich emirate of Abu Dhabi is to fund the construction of a $50 million hospital in Islamabad as part of humanitarian aid to Pakistan, state WAM news agency said on Sunday.

The 200-bed facility, which will take two years to build, will be named the "Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahayan Hospital" after the president of the United Arab Emirates, a seven-state federation of which Abu Dhabi is the capital, the report said.

The donation is intended "to help the Pakistani people in the area of health", it added.

searching for fund for islamic hospital

I was a physician in Banjarnegara, Indonesia. With few A of our friends (doctors) we have a dream to build a Muslim hospital in our area. In our area an Emanuel hospital was built, the large Christian mission hospital that services our Muslim people with a secret mission to change peoples' beliefs.
