What we know so far about the new superhospital in Budapest

As we have reported earlier, according to the original plans, every ward of the clinic of Kútvölgyi Street, the children’s hospitals in Tűzoltó Street and Bókay Street, and one of the women’s clinics would be moved to the new hospital. Moreover, the trauma surgery, neurosurgery, maternity and gynaecology wards, the neurology ward, the children’s ward and the neonatal intensive care unit of Szent János Hospital will also be relocated to the new hospital block.

Szent János Hospital is to become a place for chronic care and rehabilitation with 300 beds, following the renovation of the necessary buildings. The outpatient care units would be moved to a separate building in Kútvölgyi Street, a big step forward for the locals since currently the outpatient care occupies the same building, often even the same corridor as inpatient care wards, posing a risk for infections.

Three superhospitals are planned to be built by 2023.
