Arabian Healthcare Group (AHG), a leading healthcare provider in the region and the parent company of RAK Hospital, announced its ambitious Master Strategic Plan 2027.
Developed in collaboration with CommonSpirit Health, one of the largest hospital systems in the United States, the plan aims to meet the growing healthcare needs of Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) as the emirate rolls out mandatory health insurance this year.
Key initiatives include the construction of a new 209-bed multispecialty greenfield hospital and the expansion of ‘Urgent Care’ community clinics, inspired by CommonSpirit Health’s successful model in the US.
These efforts are aimed at ensuring accessible, high-quality care across the emirate.
Arabian Healthcare Group said both the new and existing hospitals are carefully crafted to cater to individuals across a range of insurance plans, from low to mid-tier and premium coverage.
“Once the new hospital opens, the current RAK Hospital will primarily focus on serving those with mid- to lower-tier insurance, while the new hospital will concentrate on providing specialised care for individuals with premium insurance coverage,” it said.
Additionally, the expanded network of ‘Urgent Care’ clinics will be strategically located to deliver efficient, personalised care tailored to the unique needs of local populations, ensuring accessible healthcare options for all residents, it said.
The new hospital, strategically located along the E311 – Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, providing easy access to neighbouring districts and emirates – is set to open in Q3 2027, and will incorporate cutting-edge technologies, including IoT, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning, to enhance patient care and streamline operational efficiency.
As for the expansion of the ‘Urgent Care’ community clinics network, the company proposes to follow a hub-and-spoke model, connecting with the hospital network and offering convenient care options in various parts of Ras Al Khaimah.
New locations will include Al Dhait, Al Maried, and Al Ghail, along with the relocation of the existing clinic in Al Hamra to a larger, more advanced facility.
Dr. Raza Siddiqui, CEO of Arabian Healthcare Group and Executive Director of RAK Hospital, said the group’s mission is to provide comprehensive healthcare services to all segments of society in Ras Al Khaimah—encompassing primary, secondary, tertiary, preventive care, and wellness.
“With the implementation of mandatory health insurance, we recognise both the increased demand for healthcare services and the opportunity to enhance our offerings,” he said.
