VICTORIA, Seychelles — The construction of the new modern hospital in Seychelles has reached a key milestone, with the project team marking the completion of major structural work and the start of the next phase of development. The milestone represents significant progress on one of the country’s most ambitious infrastructure projects, designed to transform healthcare delivery for generations to come.
According to the Ministry of Health, the milestone was achieved ahead of schedule, reflecting the dedication and professionalism of the construction teams and the effectiveness of the project management arrangements. The next phase will focus on the installation of mechanical and electrical systems, the fitting out of clinical and public spaces, and the commissioning of medical equipment. Officials said the project remains on track for completion within the planned timeframe.
According to ministry officials, the new hospital has been designed with input from clinicians, patients, and international healthcare planning experts to ensure it meets the highest standards of safety, efficiency, and patient experience. The facility will include modern operating theatres, advanced diagnostic imaging, dedicated cancer care services, and a comprehensive emergency department. Investment in digital systems will support integrated care and improve clinical outcomes.
The project is also expected to deliver wider benefits, including the creation of jobs during construction and operation, the development of local supply chains, and the strengthening of Seychelles’ position as a regional centre for medical excellence. Officials have emphasised that the hospital represents a long-term investment in the health and wellbeing of the Seychellois people, and a key component of the country’s broader development strategy.
