Capital Med will contain 700 intensive care units, 70 operating rooms and more than 15,000 health service providers from various specialties, to provide together nearly 100 medical specialties.
The enormity of the Capital Med project is due to the geographic surroundings of the project, where more than 5 million people live 20 minutes away from the project site, to double that number to become 20 million people within 90 minutes of the project site.
The new medical city is connected to the highway network to facilitate access, in addition to its proximity to Cairo International Airport, as the new city is only 20 minutes away from the airport.
The Emirates Tabreed explained that the company will finance, build and operate the Manateq power plant designed specifically for the project, in cooperation with the Shaker Consulting Group, with the purpose of meeting the cooling and heating requirements for this prestigious project.
The capacity of the district power plant will have a production capacity of about 19,500 refrigeration tons, and later the production capacity will be increased to range from 213 to 30,000 refrigeration tons to cover the entire project, according to the requirements of the first phase.
Phase 1-1 includes the construction and installation of a system with a production capacity of 7,500 tons of cooling and 12 megawatts of heating using hot water boilers, to provide energy services to cover all related buildings, in order to achieve comprehensive and integrated solutions in the long term.
