The Red Sea Development Company (TRSDC) has awarded the operations contract for the Coastal Village Hospital to Steward alf Global Healthcare Company, a joint venture between Alf Healthcare, the healthcare arm of Saudi developer and operator of large-scale PPP projects Alfanar, and leading healthcare provider Steward Health Care International.

The Saudi developer behind the world’s most ambitious regenerative tourism project, TRSDC said the new healthcare facility located in The Red Sea Project’s Coastal Village area, will provide world-class healthcare to the community of 14,000 people working in and around the 1.5 million-sq-m waterfront site.

The hospital will offer primary and secondary care to residents of the Coastal Village and later to visitors of The Red Sea Project, including emergency care, family medicine, radiology, clinical support, women’s health, and pharmacy services.

On the contract award, CEO John Pagano said: “The Coastal Village is envisioned as a sustainable community of homes and amenities, complete with newly opened offices and a management hotel. It forms a central hub in which our employees can live, work and relax, and with the Coastal Village Hospital at its centre, we can ensure an exceptional quality of life for our residents. Our people are our priority, and we care about the health and well-being of each and every employee. Steward alf Global Healthcare Company combines the local experience of Alfanar with international best practice from Steward Health Care International, guaranteeing the very best of medical care is provided.”

A hyperbaric chamber will also be operated as an integrated part of the facility’s Emergency Department, enabling world-class primary treatment for diving accidents, such as decompression sickness, on site.

As part of its operations, the Steward alf Global Healthcare Company will also support in the design, construction and commissioning of the hospital, he added.

Alfanar Vice Chairman Sabah Al Mutlaq said: “TRSDC’s Coastal Village concept is ambitious, and we fully support its commitment to deliver exceptional standards of wellbeing for the destination’s employees and their families. We will work at pace with TRSDC to plan and deliver a truly world-class standard of primary and secondary care, with a focus on expanding long-term employment opportunities for local residents too,” he noted.

As part of the contract, Steward alf Global Healthcare Company will develop site-wide emergency response provision, ensuring the utmost safety of workers and visitors, he added.
