The hospital's operations will be phased in over the coming months, and it is considered one of the most advanced hospitals that uses the latest technologies and equipment.
With the commencement of Phase 1 of operations, the hospital will receive emergency cases with non-life-threatening medical conditions, especially as it is located near Al Bayt Stadium and Lusail Stadium. The hospital can be found at Intersection No. 47 on Al Khor Coastal Road and is easily accessible.
With a plot area of 140,000sqm and a hospital area of 82,000sqm, AAH is the second largest HMC hospital after Hamad General Hospital in terms of size and capacity. The main building consists of four levels with 300 treatment rooms. The ground floor contains 10 entrances and reception areas to serve different departments, waiting areas, cafeterias, prayer rooms and other services, which are important to patients and visitors.



The basement is designated for logistic services such as laboratories, the main kitchen and sanitisation operations.
The main building consists of the emergency department that is divided into three parts: male, female and paediatric with a capacity of 60 beds. The building also includes a comprehensive clinical imaging department in addition to waiting areas and cafeterias.

The parking capacity at AAH is 1,500 spaces and 75% of the parking spaces is covered.
AAH has been established according to the world's highest standards in medical technology in terms of equipment and furnishing.
The hospital is distinguished by its design based on the ease of movement between outpatient clinics and the main building, and between the various internal medical departments, which helps both patients and medical teams at the same time. This is in addition to considering the entry of natural lighting into different areas of the building as much as possible.
The hospital is the result of the diligent and continuous work between the Private Engineering Office and Hamad Medical Corporation, benefiting from their previous experiences, during which three hospitals were implemented (Ras Laffan, Hazm Mebaireek and Mesaieed hospitals) as well as health centres and major clinics such as the health centre in the Industrial Area and the Asian Village Medical Clinic in the Industrial Area.
