Description

The project will complete a 10-year investment programme designed to create a first-class hospital, research and education facility on the Gasthuisberg campus over the period 2005-2015 serving the population of the Flemish Region (6 million people).

Objectifs

The programme will create a specialist hospital centre at Gasthuisberg to enable the transfer of acute hospital services from other campuses that are part of the university hospital, as well as develop approriate community based services on peripheral sites. The progressively developed infrastructure of the hospital will provide an appropriate environment for high-tech medicine that not only integrates all medical and paramedical disciplines but also creates a focus for the full integration of health, teaching and reseach activities.

Montant BEI envisagé (montant approximatif)

Around EUR 200 million.

Coût total (montant approximatif)

Total project costs are estimated at over EUR 900 million and will be verified during appraisal.

Aspects environnementaux

Hospitals are not specifically mentioned in the EIA Directive on Environmental Impact Assesment, though the project may be covered by Annex II of the Directive in relation to urban development. The project represents the redevelopment of an existing hospital site and as such, is unlikely to require an EIA. The Bank’s services will verify during appraisal whether an EIA is required and further environmental effects of the project.

Passation des marchés

The Bank requires the promoter to ensure that all relevant contracts for the implementation of the project have been or shall be tendered in accordance with the relevant EU procurement legislation. The procurement issues will be examined during appraisal.
