On Monday, 9 November, a Memorandum of Corporation (MoC) was signed in Bratislava, marking the first step in the development of a new university children’s hospital. State visits between Slovakia and the Netherlands have fostered the shared ambition to build a new children’s hospital with strong Dutch involvement. Dutch Health Architects took the initiative to start a feasibility study outlining the key principles for this new facility, in collaboration with the Slovak Ministry of Health and Invest International.
During the signing ceremony, Minister Šaško repeatedly emphasized the critical importance of the new hospital for Slovakia and expressed his appreciation for the Dutch engagement. The new facility will integrate medical care, research, and education at a university level.
For Dutch Health Architects, this represents their third initiative in Slovakia, following completed hospital projects in Bratislava and Michalovce. DHA is a joint venture between EGM architects and Gortemaker Algra Feenstra architects.
Involved parties:
- Ministry of Health Slowakije
- National Institute of Children’s Diseases
- Invest International
- Embassy of The Netherlands in Slovakia
- Dutch Health Architects
