Al Bayaa Hospital



Baghdad, Iraq

REES was commissioned to develop a new full service, acute care, 200 bed hospital in Baghdad, Iraq. The facility will be a US style hospital and will be designed to meet the Joint Commission International Standards.

Because of the facility’s location in war-torn Baghdad, security was a top priority for the design team. The hospital is planned within a safety perimeter and includes on-site housing for physicians and hospital staff. Medical Offices and laboratory services are also included on-site, making the facility entirely self-contained.

The Al Bayaa Hospital is intended to function as a teaching hospital to enable Iraq to replace a diminished pool of trained healthcare professionals.

The hospital was designed to take advantage of departmental agencies that reduce staff travel and response times. Due to the unusually high volume of emergency room visits projected - it was a major planning priority to provide the departments that support the emergency department with clear and immediate access.
