The contract for the smart hospital is worth AED468 million ($127.4 million) and will be built at the integrated free zone park at Dubai Silicon Oasis in Dubai, the company said in a statement.
A state-of-the-art medical university is planned in the second phase of development, it said, adding that project works will start immediately with completion expected in October 2017.
