The area of the former main gate of the hospital was incorporated into the construction site of a new treatment center for children.
According to RMF FM reporter Anna Pałamar, the most important change concerns the entrance to the hospital. From today, patients can no longer use the former main gate at the LPR helicopter landing pad.
This area has been incorporated into the construction site, where a modern treatment center for the youngest patients is being built.
Currently, the most convenient way to get to the main building of the hospital or the Hospital Emergency Department is to enter through gate No. 3. This is where the main communication route for patients and visitors leads.
Changes in public transport
To facilitate access to the hospital from the other side, from today the route of bus line 95 has been extended. Buses now run from the Osiedle Zawadzkiego stop to Plac Norwida, which is intended to improve communication for people using public transport.
New Kiss&Ride zone
In response to parking difficulties, a special Kiss&Ride zone was also launched at the hospital. This is a place where drivers can stop for a moment to drop off a passenger near the entrance, without having to look for a free parking space.
Parking in front of the hospital may soon be even more difficult than before.
