Sasko: Feasibility Study for New NUDCH Due to Be Completed by End of Summer 2027

Bratislava, 9 November (TASR) - The feasibility study for the construction of a new National Institute of Children's Diseases (NUDCH) in Bratislava's borough of Vajnory is expected to be completed by the end of summer 2027 at the latest, and it will be co-financed by Dutch financial institution Invest International, Health Minister Kamil Sasko (Voice-SD) stated following the signing of a memorandum of cooperation on Monday between the ministry and Invest International, aimed at assessing the feasibility and financing of the project. The document is expected to cost a total of €1.6 million, with the Slovak and Dutch sides sharing the costs equally. "The signing defines and opens the next, now very specific, phase of defining the project, the scope of the budget, the timetable and the specific options for implementation," said the minister, emphasising that a well-prepared project is the foundation for the construction. "After that, things move very quickly," he added. Sasko expects the construction of the new children's hospital to be completed within five years. am/mcs
