SSH, a leading project management firm in the Middle East, said its joint venture with Italy-based Studio Altieri has won the main design consultancy contract for the upcoming Kuwait New Maternity Hospital (KNMH). The contract has been awarded by design-and-build contractor Impresa Pizzarotti & C.
The KNMH, to be located to the west of Kuwait City within the Al Sabah Specialty Medical Area, is planned by the Ministry of Public Works (MPW) in association with Ministry of Health (MoH) as the end user. The state-of-the-art, world-class, specialist maternity hospital will serve the growing healthcare needs of Kuwait and the GCC region.
The new facility will bring together all aspects of maternity care into a single complex. It will feature 27 operating rooms and will accommodate 780 in-patients, while a multi-storey car-park will hold up to 1,300 vehicles. The project will stand 18 storeys tall when completed.
The project’s design-and-build team is scheduled to deliver the hospital project in four-and-half years under its $817-million contract.
The site work for the project started in January 2017.
The project comprises the main hospital building with 11 floors of in-patient accommodation, an annexe which includes outpatient clinics, an auditorium and administrative facilities, a multi-storey car-park and central utility plant.
