Introduction to Bayt Abdallah

Bayt Abdullah is a children’s hospice that has been commissioned by KACCH to provide specialized care for children who are not expected to reach adulthood, and their families, enabling them to live their lives as fully as possible for as long as possible.

The focus of the design is on the individual needs of children and their families delivered within a very attractive, child-friendly and playful environment supported by highly skilled pediatric palliative care staff.

Surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens and terraces and fronted by an inlet of the Arabian Gulf, Bayt Abdallah will offer children expert pain and symptom management as well as opportunities to play and socialize with other children.

Bayt Abdallah is named after a four-year old boy called Abdallah who returned to Kuwait from London when treatment failed to cure his life-threatening condition. His mother promised that he would never again have to stay in a hospital and took care of him at home with the support of KACCH and a team of very special people. This experience inspired KACCH to work towards making this specialized care available for other children with terminal conditions in Kuwait and has resulted in the design of Bayt Abdallah, the first children’s hospice in the Middle East, designed by Alia Al-Ghunaim, a young Kuwaiti architect.
