- 1 Aug 2016 9:00 AM
The government has allocated around 235 billion forints (EUR 754.6m) towards hospital developments and upgrades planned in Budapest, the government commissioner for hospital developments told daily Magyar Idők on Saturday. The funds have been earmarked for the first phase of developments, which are scheduled to start at the beginning of next year at the latest, Péter Cserháti said.
Most of the funds, around 185 billion forints, will be spent on three of the four planned hospital centres, he said. A total of 11 billion forints will be spent on power system upgrades at the three hubs’ so-called partner hospitals.
These funds will be distributed later this year, Cserháti said.
An amount of 39 billion forints has been earmarked in next year’s budget to be spent on interior renovations and technological upgrades at the partner hospitals, he added.
