The Maldives National University (MNU) has announced a call for contractors to undertake the construction of the Medical School and Teaching Hospital, a project jointly funded by the Pakistan Government.
MNU has also unveiled plans for the establishment of a comprehensive medical infrastructure, including a medical school, teaching hospital, faculty of health sciences, and school of nursing. The medical school and teaching hospital will adhere to university-provided blueprints, while the School of Nursing and Accommodation Block will follow a design and build approach. The opportunity to submit proposals for the two projects are open until May 24.
The medical school, equipped to accommodate 100 students simultaneously, will boast state-of-the-art amenities. Meanwhile, the teaching hospital, envisioned as a 300-bed facility equipped with cutting-edge technology, aims to deliver top-tier patient care. The facilities are slated for construction in Hulhumale', with MNU earmarking 5,700sqm of land for their development, including dedicated student housing within the hospital precinct.
MNU also plans to construct separate buildings for the Faculty of Health Sciences and the School of Nursing, spanning 69,000 sqm. The structures will include additional amenities such as accommodation, sports facilities, and a conference hall, all outfitted with modern conveniences.
