Jihlava Hospital is continuing to prepare an extensive modernisation of its oncology department. At the end of October, the project documentation for the new radiotherapy rooms was submitted; they are an important part of the planned development of the Comprehensive Cancer Centre. Preparations for the construction of a new three-storey clinical oncology pavilion are also continuing. The total cost of the project is estimated at 300 million crowns and will be financed by the Vysočina Region.
The new pavilion will replace the existing building H, which houses the radiotherapy rooms and the CT unit. The modernisation should offer patients a more pleasant and comfortable environment, a clearer layout of the departments and better conditions for providing specialised oncology care.
“The development of oncology care requires not only modern equipment, but also suitable premises and facilities. Submitting the project documentation for the new radiotherapy rooms is an important step in preparing the whole project. Our goal is to provide patients with high-quality care in a modern environment and at the same time to create good working conditions for our staff,” says the Director of Jihlava Hospital, Alexander Filip.
One of the main requirements of the project is to keep the Comprehensive Cancer Centre running during the construction work. The work is therefore planned in individual stages. Building the new radiotherapy rooms is essential to ensure continuity of treatment while the existing building is demolished and the new pavilion is subsequently built.
The Comprehensive Cancer Centre at Jihlava Hospital is the only facility of its kind in the Vysočina Region. Every year, around a thousand newly diagnosed patients start their treatment here. Modernising its facilities is therefore a significant investment in the availability and quality of specialised healthcare throughout the region.
The completion of the project documentation for the radiotherapy rooms will be followed by further steps towards construction. Once the necessary project preparation has been completed, it will be possible to proceed with the subsequent procedures and the selection of a contractor.
The whole project represents a fundamental change for the future operation of the oncology department in Jihlava. Its aim is to create a modern, functionally connected environment that meets current requirements for the treatment of cancer and the needs of patients and healthcare staff.
