Hungary’s Largest Hospital Investment Ready for Handover

Hungary Today 2024.06.18.

The new 112-bed hospital block will soon start its operational tests. After the finishing touches have been made, the furniture will be put in place in the new ward of the Fejér County Szent György University Teaching Hospital, says Magyar Építők in a video, shared about the progress of work on Hungary’s largest hospital development currently underway.

The construction of the new building of the Fejér County Szent György University Teaching Hospital is one of the most important projects not only in Székesfehérvár (central Hungary), but also in the region, writes Világgazdaság.

The investment is financed with HUF 14 billion (EUR 35 million) of public funds.

Fejér-B.Á.L. Zrt. and Épkar Zrt. are working together on the three-and-a-half-story block, where the operational tests can start in the summer.

The new 112-bed, 64-ward hospital building will house

a pulmonary department in addition to the internal medicine department, but will also treat patients with cancer and infectious diseases.

The Magyar Építők crew filmed on site, and in their video they show the outside of the building, where the cladding is now almost completely in place, and the ongoing work on the inside. In total, the new internal medicine center will accommodate healthcare workers and their patients on more than 6,100 square meters.
