What was the reason that we choose to build a new state of the art hospital in Ljubljana (Domžale) Slovenia
Building a new state of the art hospital in Ljubljana (Domžale) Slovenia
The current hospitals capacities of the existing Ljubljana's hospital does not cover the needs of the city of Ljubljana and its surroundings.
It is extremely important for us that Ljubljana as a city has Faculty of Medicine and as well the Faculty of Health not to mention nursing school, which is of great importance for our work both in Slovenia and elsewhere in Europe and even in the United Kingdom.
We are working to start to build a new state of the art hospital with 1037 beds (all departments) and separate department for 66 beds for cancer patients only totalling 1103 beds.
The project is going to cost hundreds of millions of Euros along with all the equipment which would all be financed by Zdenko Kos MSc MEc BScEcon(Hons) MBE directly; This project in Ljubljana (Domžale) will create over six thousands of new jobs.
Speaking during a funding announcement in London in July 1, 2025 the founder Zdenko Kos mentioned that he firmly stands on site for today’s hospital announcement in Ljubljana (Domžale) as well for further two hospitals in Maribor and Celje.
“We’re investing more than €700 million for three new private hospital projects across Slovenia.
The first one will be hospital in Ljubljana (Domžale) which I personally would like to name as Hospital of Dr. Marcus Antonius Plenčič*."
All three new hospital in Slovenia will have in total 3,386 beds of which 302 specially just for the cancer patients. All three hospital will create over 17,500 new jobs.
“The new hospital will provide an incredible opportunity to transform the current (none)care for patients in Slovenia, and it is our respond for such needs in Slovenia."
In this case so far new hospital in Ljubljana (Domžale) is concerned, we are talking about mutual benefit.
A new state of the art hospital in Ljubljana (Domžale) Slovenia exposed: Our vision for hospital in Ljubljana (Domžale) Slovenia
The hospital in Slovenia, Ljubljana (Domžale) on hold. Instigated and funded by the Z Kos Foundation, their founder started with his request directly to the top and addressed it to the Slovenian government.
There did not appear to be much enthusiasm to let Zdenko Kos do something like this. The Kos architects required a minimum 30,000m² of land for a 1103 bed hospital of with special department for caner patients with 66 beds of 1103 beds and in addition 10,000-20,000m² nearby for hospital staff accommodation.
The decision need to be make as soon as possible as we have to be aware how long normally takes from steps 1to 5 where costs of money is getting higher and higher from day to day and as such prices for building are going up with every year lost by doing nothing.
The five steps to build a new hospital are:
- Where to build the hospital
- Getting the site ready
- Designing the hospital
- Getting planning consent
- Start building the hospital
The length from 1-5 could be 3 years even to start with building.
