0 Comments | AFP, August, 2008
ABU DHABI (AFP) — The oil-rich emirate of Abu Dhabi is to fund the construction of a 50-million-dollar hospital in Islamabad as part of humanitarian aid to Pakistan, the state WAM news agency said on Sunday.
The 200-bed facility, which will take two years to build, will be named the "Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahayan Hospital" after the president of the United Arab Emirates, a seven-state federation of which Abu Dhabi is the capital, the report said.
The donation is intended "to help the Pakistani people in the area of health" it added.
Hundreds of thousands of Pakistani nationals live and work in the Emirates, which maintains good relationships with Pakistan.
