Euro.cz: A clinic worth half a billion is rising in Smíchov

Prague - A polyclinic worth half a billion crowns is rising in Prague-Smíchov. The area on Kartouzská street, named Smíchov Health Center, aims to become one of the most modern outpatient medical facilities in the Czech Republic. This was reported by the Euro.cz website. The polyclinic is being built by Medifin. Initially, they planned to invest 150 million crowns in Smíchov.
The new polyclinic building, which is set to be the first such structure in Prague since 1989, is already being constructed in Smíchov. However, according to Euro.cz, the old facility is also expected to undergo refurbishment. Full completion is planned for 2012, but patients will be able to use the southern pavilion this autumn, which will feature more than 25 specialized medical offices, including surgery with fifteen beds, as reported by Euro.cz.
Medifin has been leasing the Kartouzská polyclinic since June 2006. The sole owner of the company is the Swiss group of the same name. In the Czech Republic, the company claims to be building a network of smaller and medium-sized healthcare facilities where it aims to provide standard and above-standard healthcare services.
