Stockholm is growing and needs new emergency hospitals, operating theaters and beds.

“With these expansions, Södersjukhuset is preparing itself for society’s increasing need for surgical capacity, emergency hospitals and more beds,” says Svante Hagman, Head of business area NCC Construction Sweden.

Locum also aims to have the new buildings certified according to Sweden Green Building Council (SGBC) Gold, the highest SGBC classification.

The new hospital buildings are expected to be ready at year-end 2018. When the new emergency unit opens in 2019, it will be the largest of its kind in Sweden.

“The Stockholm region is expanding rapidly and the new emergency unit is a key element of the future planning for health and medical care in Stockholm County, where all residents must be confident that they will receive the right care at the right time,” says Paul Lindquist, Chairman of Locum.
