In addition, the new development includes a central hospital complex with eight floors, including two underground levels with approximately 400 parking spaces.
The main hospital building of the complex, also called hospital one, offers a wide range of advanced medical services with facilities such as emergency receptions for children and women, polyclinics, operating theatres, delivery rooms, intensive care units, and educational spaces for child patients.
