The Husi association meeting on Wednesday proposes that the hospital’s construction budget be increased to 170 million euros in the investment plan extending to 2027.
The increase in costs is mostly due to the fact that the price of construction materials has risen both because of the corona pandemic and after Russia attacked Ukraine. While making the foundations, there have also been some surprises, due to which the original building plans have had to be slightly adjusted.
For eye diseases the centralized Tammisairaila will be built in Meilahti near the Skin and Allergy Hospital. A couple of years ago, the construction costs were still estimated to be around 120 million euros.
The Hus group still has several large hospital construction sites going on and significant repair debt. Inflation increases the price of several other projects by significant amounts, the same meeting discusses, for example, the changed plans of the Laakso Hospital, a joint construction project between the City of Helsinki and Husi.
