Waqf Hospital (Arabic: مستشفى الوقف mustashfā al-wiqqif) is the main emergency and primary care hospital of Nasseria, the federal capital of the Arab Union. Opened in 1977, its main entrance is located just off Victory Square to the northwest, while its emergency entrance is located on the other side of the hospital off Sharkas Lane. While the hospital's footprint is a mere 22,000 m2, following extensive renovation between 1988 and 1990, it increased its floor count from 20 to a total of 33, making it one of the largest healthcare facilities in Nasseria and the surrounding Capital metropolitan community today. Waqf Hospital is fully funded by the National Health Authority (NHA). Its roof hosts a landing pad for air ambulance helicopters, which was opened in 1991.
