By GlobalData"By 2019 this important project will see existing accommodation replaced with the fit-for-purpose spaces and infrastructure needed to deliver modern healthcare."
Birmingham Women’s Hospital chief executive Ros Keeton said: "We have been delivering healthcare services for women and families, not just in Birmingham and the West Midlands but nationally and internationally, from our present site since 1968.
"This development will provide us with modern facilities so we can continue to deliver the very best healthcare and meet the rising demand for our services."
Expected to be fully complete early in 2019, the scheme will enable the hospital to handle more number of deliveries, while increasing the number of neonatal cots.
