Andovski: Kičevo to Get New Hospital, Investment Estimated at €22.5 Million

The concept for constructing a new hospital building in Kičevo was discussed during a visit to the city hospital by Deputy Health Minister Jovica Andovski, Kičevo Mayor Aleksandar Jovanovski, Kičevo General Hospital Director Maja Cvetanovska Trajkovska, and a World Bank delegation.

The estimated value of the project is approximately 1.38 billion denars, or €22.5 million.

Andovski said Kičevo has faced inadequate hospital conditions for several decades and that the time has come to resolve the issue in a functional and long-term manner. According to him, the goal is to provide residents with safe healthcare in their own city while creating modern working conditions for medical staff.

The planned complex will include modern facilities for diagnostics, inpatient treatment and emergency procedures, along with medical gas systems and energy-efficient solutions.

The hospital’s services will be available to residents of the Municipality of Kičevo and the surrounding areas. This is expected to reduce the need for patients to travel to Skopje, Ohrid or Bitola for treatment.

The Ministry of Health believes that construction of the new facility will put an end to years of uncertainty and provide a sustainable healthcare solution for Kičevo and the region.
