The Government of Saskatchewan has selected a site on 5th Avenue in north Saskatchewan, Canada for the construction of a new integrated health care facility.
The site has been selected following a detailed analysis of factors including land costs, zoning requirements and servicing.
Under the two-year C$7.5bn ($5.7bn) capital expenditure, the government has committed to invest C$2.5m ($1.9m) this year on the project.
Once operational, the 35-bed facility, with a ten-bed inpatient mental health unit, will replace Weyburn General Hospital.
Construction of the hospital is expected to commence by 2022 and is scheduled to conclude by 2023.
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said: “The new hospital will be a tremendous benefit to residents in southeast Saskatchewan.
