A US military hospital funded by the UAE will be built in Abu Dhabi to treat Emirati soldiers and regionally based American troops, a US army official said on Sunday.
Lieutenant-General Charles Hooper, director of the Defence Security Cooperation Agency, said the US would deploy medical military personnel in support of a facility "very similar" to the one in Landstuhl, Germany - the biggest American hospital outside the US.
"When completed, this facility, which is funded by the UAE, will provide much-needed emergency medical support to both Emirati forces and to regionally based US forces," he said.
