Abdali Clemenceau Hospital[7] is a private 200-bed multi-specialty hospital currently under construction in the new district of Abdali, Amman. The hospital main investors are the Abu Ghazaleh family, founders and main shareholders of the Clemenceau Medical Centre in Beirut. Mohammad Abu Ghazaleh is the chairman of Abdali Clemenceau hospital.

Master plan change

The building in the new district of Abdali in which the hospital will occupy, was supposed to be built for commercial and residential purposes in a project named then as "Vertex Tower and Residences", and construction began on it in mid 2008.

However, in 2011, following the Global financial crisis in 2009, construction was put on hold due to financial problems that the contracting company suffered from, and the construction site was abandoned for several years.

Later in 2014,[8] Greater Amman Municipality planned to build a hospital in the new district of Abdali, in order to stimulate investment in Jordan, especially in the medical sector, and decided that the hospital will be constructed within the "Vertex Tower and Residences" project's building which was abandoned since 2011.

Finally, in the third quarter of 2015, work resumed within the building of the previous suspended project "Vertex Tower and Residences" to reconstruct and develop it to a new medical-use project called "Clemenceau Medical Center", the first of its kind in Jordan, with the highest standards run by Clemenceau Medicine International (CMI),[9] the project is estimated to be completed in the year 2019.

Construction incidents

Crane collapse

On the afternoon of Saturday July 7, 2018, a mobile crane was in the process of dismantling a tower crane (one of two tower cranes in the CMC project).

However, due to a mechanical failure, the mobile crane collapsed with the tower crane that was being held, resulting in 4 medium injuries, 2 vehicles damaged. In addition, solar panels on the roof of the House of Representatives building nearby was also damaged. On the other hand, no damage has occurred to the CMC building.

After the incident Greater Amman Municipality declared that a few days earlier it had certified that the mobile crane was safe to use.
