Abu Dhabi General Services Company, Musanada, said that it has completed all the works related to the headquarters of the National Rehabilitation Centre (NRC) at Shakhbout City, as part of its efforts to realise the vision of His Highness President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and to implement the directions of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, to establish and deliver health rehabilitation and community care facilities aimed at providing best rehabilitation and reform programmes in order to develop the potentials and capabilities of rehabilitated individuals so that they become active members of their community and positively contribute to the comprehensive development process witnessed by the UAE.
“Musanada is keen on implementing the directions of our prudent leadership, putting all possible efforts to construct modern and integrated care and rehabilitation centres for individuals and provide exemplary services in line with highest standards in order to meet the inspirations of the centre aiming to rehabilitate and re-integrate individuals affected by addiction into the community,” said Ali Al-Haj Al Mehairbi, Acting Executive Director of Musanada’s Buildings Construction Management Division.
Al Mehairbi said that NRC, which began operations in June 2014, comprises seven buildings serving NRC’s objectives: the administration building, male outpatient rehabilitation building, female outpatient rehabilitation building, male assessment building, medical services building, multi-use building and the central station building. NRC also includes a number of specialist clinics and facilities required to achieve optimal treatment results. It has a 169-bed capacity and will be handed over to the National Rehabilitation Centre before the end of the month as planned.
“The AED285 million National Rehabilitation Centre has a built up area of approximately 40,000 square meters,” added Al Mehairbi. “Musanada has constructed the external works of NRC within the borders of the plot allocated for construction stretching over 100,000 square meters, including paving of roads and parking areas, as well as tree planting and landscaping for the various external spaces. Musanada has been keen on gearing all efforts to provide comfort and safety to NRC’s users, ensuring compliance with highest international and engineering standards while maintaining a sustainable system to preserve various resources,” he concluded.
