It will be a climate-resilient facility that will not only withstand extreme weather conditions but will also serve as a shelter during deadly storms and promote environmentally friendly practices. The builders will maintain a soothing natural environment around the hospital to help patients recover quickly.

The JNF will achieve the highest level of care, innovation and efficiency, according to the Associates Times website.

The healthcare institution will have a considerable number of beds, multi-specialty units, and several fully equipped operating rooms.

It will be an environmentally friendly facility with solar-powered facilities, rainwater collection and recycling, green waste management, advanced filtration for cleaner air and, most importantly, the ability to withstand major storms.
