The construction of a new hospital in Kërçovë is slated to cost 22 million euros. According to a government announcement, the proposed medical facility will be situated at the city entrance, near the highway and in proximity to the Barracks area. Despite this official commitment, public sentiment in Kërçovë remains marked by considerable skepticism, stemming from the area’s long history with incomplete or stalled medical infrastructure projects.
Residents have voiced deep apprehension regarding the viability of the current promise. Concerns have been raised about the consistency of such large-scale developments, with some community members noting that previous construction initiatives have spanned decades and involved multiple changes in governmental administration. When discussing the optimal placement for the new hospital, public commentary showed divided opinions, though some residents indicated a preference for the location near the Barracks if a new facility were to be built.
In response to the ongoing dialogue, the Deputy Minister of Health, Jovica Andovski, provided an update on the necessary funding mechanisms. He stated that the agreement with the World Bank, which is crucial for moving forward with the construction of the new facility, is anticipated to be finalized within the next three to six months.
