Johns Hopkins Medicine Honors U.A.E. Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan

Transformational contribution to support new clinical tower and research at the Baltimore institution Johns Hopkins officials today announced a significant financial commitment to Johns Hopkins Medicine from His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Most of the gift, made in honor of Sheikh Khalifas late father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, will support construction of The Johns Hopkins Hospitals new cardiovascular and critical care tower, currently under construction on the East Baltimore campus.

In addition, some funds will go to The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Deans Discretionary Fund to be directed to cardiovascular research and some also have been earmarked for AIDS research at the Johns Hopkins University-Makerere University Collaborative Care Center, at Mulago Hospital in Kampala, Uganda.

Johns Hopkins is respecting the donors request that the amount of the gift not be disclosed.

This transformational gift is a testament not only to the generosity of Sheikh Khalifa and his family but to their vision, said Johns Hopkins University president William R. Brody. The care that will take place in this new tower will benefit generations of patients, and the discoveries made here will reach far beyond the campus in East Baltimore, touching lives around the world.

The new Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan Cardiovascular and Critical Care Tower is one of two 12-story towers being built as part of Johns Hopkins Medicines campus redevelopment. The 913,000-square-foot tower, housing the Johns Hopkins Heart Institute, 355 patient beds, and operating rooms clustered with catheterization labs and imaging suites, is designed to marry the needs of a teaching hospital with the latest in communication and information technology, including wireless voice communications, wireless and high-speed internet access, and all-digital medical imaging availa
