HRH Princess Haya visits Addenbrooke’s Hospital
12 May, 2010
Her Royal Highness Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein, wife of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, visited Addenbrooke’s Hospital on Tuesday as part of a fact-finding initiative to visit hospitals across Europe to assist in the development of the Al Jalila Children’s Speciality Hospital in Dubai, the first dedicated children’s hospital in the United Arab Emirates.

During her visit Princess Haya discussed best practice in patient care, the fundamental importance of research initiatives and of first-rate medical education as a means to achieve excellence in paediatric healthcare services.
Accompanied by Dr. Mary Archer, Chairman, and Dr. Gareth Goodier, Chief Executive, of Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and specialist doctors, Princess Haya was shown around clinical areas of the hospital including the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), the Paediatric Oncology Ward and the Neurosciences Critical Care Unit.
Dr. Mary Archer said, “It was a pleasure and an honour to show Princess Haya around Addenbrooke’s. She visited us to see the way we work and how we put patient care and safety at the heart of all we do. Princess Haya was very interested in the fact that we are the only hospital in the region to have a dedicated cancer unit for babies and children up to the age of 16 and was keen to visit our Paediatric Intensive Care Unit and our neurosurgical facilities. We have our own plans for a children’s hospital, so being able to share knowledge and experience with the team in Dubai will help both teams make their future projects even more successful.”
The Cambridge children’s hospital is part of the plans for the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, which will cover 140 acres rather than the current 70 occupied by Addenbrooke’s and the Rosie. The campus will provide room for extensive new clinical facilities including Papworth Hospital as well as expanded services for maternity, neurosciences and cancer.
