Macedonia plans to construct a new 60 million euro medical centre in the capital that will unite all existing facilities under one roof and end the current chaos.
Macedonia's Health Ministry has launched a tender for a firm to draw up plans to build a new hospital for the capital.
Construction work, planned to start next summer, will last three years.
Calling it the “biggest infrastructure project in the health department”, Health Minster Nikola Todorov said the new building will put most of the clinics under one roof, “making it easier for the patients and the staff”.
The planned building will be ten or more storeys high and will have 47, 000 square metres, with a helipad on the roof, the minister said.
The cost of 60 million euro does not include the new equipment that has already started to arrive and is being used in the existing facilities, he said.
The new complex should put an end to the long standing chaos at the city's existing clinical centre.
Currently the clinics are situated on separate sites though part of a single complex. Most of the existing buildings and infrastructure date back to the years just after the Second World War.
The estimated daily influx of about 10,000 people has proven too much for the existing facilities, where emergency vehicles often have trouble passing through the narrow streets from the heavy traffic.
