Construction company Concor recently completed a fast-tracked Covid-19 facility at Jubilee Hospital, using innovative building technology.
The facility was handed over to the hospital on 27 November 2020, with work having begun on-site just five months earlier in June.
The project in Hammanskraal north of Pretoria features over ten modular units, adding another 300 beds to care for Covid-19 patients for the Gauteng Department of Health.
The facility comprises five 25-bed intensive care unit (ICU) modules – complete with a two-bed isolation ward – and five 35-bed high care modules.
