This schedule outlines the necessary activities and deadlines, with BGN 100 million provided from the state budget for initial funding, including field clearing, design, and other activities. A grant agreement with the European Investment Bank has been established for consulting services.

The required funds for the hospital's construction will be included in next year's budget and the medium-term budget forecast.
