Kanad Hospital (formerly known as Oasis Hospital) was established in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates, by Drs. Pat and Marian Kennedy in 1960. It is the oldest hospital in the Abu Dhabi Emirate, and the second oldest in the entire nation of UAE. Owned by True Sojourners, a U.S.-based humanitarian organization, Kanad is a not-for-profit hospital that is committed to and known for providing exceptional, whole-person healthcare with the love and compassion of Jesus Christ. The success of Bahrain’s American Mission Hospital (c. 1903) and Oman’s Al-Rahma Hospital (c. 1909) was well known in Arabia in the first half of the twentieth century. The hospitals, founded by the Reformed Church in America at the invitation of local rulers, were known to treat tens of thousands of patients annually, saving countless lives. In 1959, facing a desperate situation with approximately 50% infant mortality and 33% maternal mortality, Abu Dhabi’s ruler Sheikh Shakhbout bin Sultan Al Nahyan and his brother Sheikh Zayed, who would become the founding father of the UAE, put out a call to bring a similar medical establishment to Al Ain. That call was answered by American physicians Dr. Burwell “Pat” Kennedy and his wife Dr. Marian Kennedy, who had previously worked in Iraq, Lebanon and Jordan. More information...
