Providing medical treatment at a university level in the city of Basel in the coming years is the aim of the generational project “Campus Health” project. The University Hospital Basel, the University of Basel and the Canton of Basel-Stadt are attending together a Press conference providing information about the future Plans for the development of the hospital area. Already the announcement of the key figures clearly shows the ambition the building project appertains to.
In terms of duration and budget, those responsible are shouldering a project of superlatives: In the next two decades investments around 1.4 billion Swiss francs will be devoted into the expansion and modernization of the hospital site as part of an ongoing construction process.
