Thessaloniki to acquire two new hospitals

    Thessaloniki is to acquire two new, ultra-modern hospitals over the next four years, health and social solidarity minister Dimitris Avramopoulos announced on Saturday during a visit to Kardia in Mikra municipality, Thessaloniki, where the hospitals -- a children's hospital and an oncology hospital -- will be built.

    During a meeting with Mikra mayor Theodoros Goustilis, Avramopoulos said that in the next two weeks the programme contracts will be signed with all the sides involved. The two men discussed the prospects of the project in detail.

    "The two hospitals will fill a huge void that has arisen in the past decades in the wider area of northern Greece," Avramopoulos said.

    Goustilis called the project very important not only for the Thessaloniki region but also for all of northern Greece.

    The two hospitals will have a total area of 80,000 square metres, employing some 6,000 people.

    They will have 400 beds each, while the total budget is estimated at 700 million euros.
