Overview
- The regional president presented the plan on May 21, 2026, announcing a €450 million, multi‑phase renovation that will add about 175,000 square metres and four new hospitalization towers.
- Phase 0 has been approved to start this year with an initial multi‑year allotment to fund demolition and new builds for Pharmacy, Radiotherapy, Translational Medicine and industrial services and is expected to run about 22 months.
- Officials say the project will create 838 individual rooms with capacity to expand bed numbers, build a new over‑6,000 m² Emergency Department organized around rapid circuits, and install digital systems and advanced imaging including multiple MRIs, CT scanners and ultrasound units.
- Reporting differs on some details: sources cite the Phase 0 allocation as either more than €61 million or €70 million, and published accounts vary on the maximum future bed totals, though the overall scope and €450 million commitment are official.
- Work will be staged to keep clinical activity running, final visible completion is projected around 2033, and the upgrade is part of a wider regional push to modernize Madrid hospitals to meet an aging population and rising clinical demand.
