Overview

Location
Rumailah Hospital, Doha, Qatar
Scale / Scope
Modernisation of fire and life-safety infrastructure at Rumailah Hospital, delivered while the hospital continues to operate. Scope includes fire detection and alarm systems, firefighting and suppression systems, emergency lighting and exit signage, fire-rated walls and doors, escape-stair upgrades, structural studies and testing, and conditional strengthening/rehabilitation depending on assessment findings. The Ministry of Public Health is documented as collaborating on this upgrade; that collaboration is preserved here as context rather than as a persisted participant relationship, pending unambiguous resolution of the organization and an accurate existing role. Ashghal reported the works more than 65% complete as of 11 August 2026, with completion scheduled for the first quarter of 2027 — this is a dated milestone, not a continuously current figure.
