Dubai: Construction of a Harvard Medical School centre began on Tuesday, officially making the prestigious medical school's presence here.
The postgraduate education and research centre headquarters in Dubai Healthcare City (DHCC) is scheduled for completion in 2007.

Dr Robert L. Thurer, Chief Academic Officer of Harvard Medical School Dubai Centre (HMSDC), said in a statement the centre was designed to provide and inspire the best medical education and research.
