EUR 450 million
Total cost (Approximate amount)
EUR 900 million
Environmental aspects
Given that hospitals are not specifically mentioned in the Environmental Impact Assessment Directive, the project is covered by Annex II to the Urban Development Directive. The programme includes the restoration of existing hospitals, for which environmental impact assessments are not required. During the project appraisal period, the EIB will examine the environmental impact of the programme and whether an environmental impact assessment is required for specific projects.
Procurement
The promoter is bound by Community directives on procurement procedures. The EIB will therefore examine this point in the course of the appraisal.
