An approximately 14,000 m² unit will be built at the Mustamäe hospital complex, which will be the NEMC’s centre for modern, patient-friendly oncological care for cancer patients.

The Y-block will have an outpatient chemotherapy department, inpatient chemotherapy and hematology departments. It will also house the Nephrology Centre’s hemodialysis department and the nephrology inpatient department. All of these units are subject to enhanced environmental technology requirements. The new complex will also be the new home of the Pathology Centre. The basement level of the building will have a modern magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) centre, which will give hospital patients much better access to top-flight diagnostics.

Besides the Y-block, the A and B-blocks’ basement, ground floor lobby and adjoining areas – about 5,800 m² – will be renovated. The area where patients give blood samples for testing will be moved to a larger area in the immediate vicinity of the main entrance and the rehabilitative care centre’s treatment areas will be moved to one central area more easily accessible for patients.

As part of the scope of the contract, renovation will also take place in the existing inpatient wing – elevator shafts on all 13 floors will be renovated, new elevators will be installed and the departments’ areas where care is provided will be expanded.
