Madrid to invest nearly 767 million euros in the future City of Health

The Community of Madrid will invest 766.4 million euros in the first two phases of the future City of Health, the complex that will transform the La Paz University Hospital, as authorized by the regional Government Council. The total investment planned for the project amounts to 1,000 million euros.

The first phase will include a new adult inpatient tower and a central services building for diagnosis and treatment. The second phase includes demolishing the current General and Traumatology buildings and building new outpatient clinics and a maternal and child tower.

Construction will begin in the second quarter of 2027 and last 96 months, with phased execution to keep health care running during the works, according to the Community of Madrid.

The future City of Health will cover more than 550,000 square meters, twice the current area of La Paz, and will integrate health care, teaching and research together with the Faculty of Medicine of the Autonomous University of Madrid. The complex will have 1,140 beds, 49 operating rooms and 692 care posts across day hospital, ICU and emergency services, as well as a Comprehensive Pediatric Cancer Center and a Proton Therapy building.

The City of Health is a long-term project: construction will span eight years, and the complex will double the surface area of the current hospital.
