A world-class super hospital is to be built in Budapest
Change language:
The construction of the South Buda Central Hospital will start next spring. The super-hospital will be built on a floor space of 223,000 square metres and will provide care for 1.2 million people. With the exception of plastic surgery for people suffering from burns, all healthcare services will be available in the institution.
Róbert J. Bedros, the consultant of PM Viktor Orbán, said that “in this hospital, literally everything will be about the patient: not only about their recovery but also about creating the optimal environment that best serves them.” Moreover, the institution will not serve only the population of the capital. It also receives patients from 5 counties located in Western and Central Hungary and provides non-stop emergency care, writes origo.hu.
The decision was made to have the future hospital be located in South Buda based on the empty space found there ideal for such a complex hospital. In addition, the hospital is being built in a good location in terms of public transport. There are already 20 bus services, but the infrastructure is being further developed.
In terms of the size of the hospital, it is outstanding not only for Budapest and Hungary but also in the world.
With a floor area of 223 thousand square metres and 1,200 beds, it is capable of serving 1.2 million patients at the same time. Creating such a huge building complex takes a lot of time. For example, the Austrian Krankenhaus Nord was being designed for 5 years and was being built for 7 years. Construction of the South Buda Central Hospital (Dél-budai Centrumkórház, BDC) is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2022 and be completed by 2026.
The expected cost of the future hospital is estimated to be HUF 300 billion, which is not outstanding in an international comparison. This amount already includes the purchase of the newest medical tools in addition to construction costs. Instead of building a new hospital, there was an idea to renovate the existing St. Imre Hospital, but there are differences in size and capacity between the two investments. Thus, St. Imre Hospital will be a co-hospital next to the DBC.
This is ridiculous, you have hospitals and clinics in Budapest. The problem is the old equipment and absurdly low income of staff. To fix this would cost way less than to hand out a contract to relatives to built a monster facility that would take (maybe) 10 years and trillion forint…..
I find this obscene. It should be standard practice that everything should be about the patient. I’ve seen the wards; no curtains to separate the beds. Dignity is everything. Raise the wages of the staff, they deserve it. Put the money into existing healthcare facilities to bring them into the 21st century instead of this pipe dream nonsense.

Zz you are right. There are enough Hospitals in Budapest strategically all over the city. They just need renovation and new equipment.
