Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Hospital in the capital of Socotra, Hadiboh, receives hundreds of patients and visitors to different departments and outpatients daily.
The Hospital was considered as the main hospital to the people of Socotra “100,000 population”, as it provided several health and medical services. It was configured with number of medical and health devices and equipment. It was opened in 2013 in line with several developmental projects. Over years, several departments were opened at the Hospital to serve people of Socotra and end their suffering, as they would not have to travel to be treated.
