ARWYP hospital launched its new 36-bed medical ward on the 11th floor of its building on Thursday last week.
The hospital’s project manager, Kyle Loxton, said it had taken five months to complete renovations.
“The ward is made of isolation rooms, six bed and three bed units. These are all fitted with en suite, fitted bathrooms,” explained Loxton.

Describing the look of the new ward Loxton added: “We are setting new standards, we’re going for more of a hotel feel and not a hospital feel.”
The medical ward will accommodate patients with any medical issues.
Loxton pointed out that the isolation rooms were to ensure that airborne illnesses would not spread.
“The negative air in the room gets extracted with the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system.
“The ward has a high quality and finish. We’ve upgraded to look after the patients, to make it comfortable and safer,” he added.
Loxton said the entire hospital was being upgraded as part of a full fire evacuation plan.
“If there is any danger in the building or a fire breaks out people will be able to find safety at the centre core which has been built. The centre core cannot catch fire and is safe from hazard,” the project manager explained.
