New Emergency Building Kristiansand

We are building an emergency building, which is scheduled for completion in May 2029. It will include an emergency department, an outpatient injury clinic, new operating theatres, a post-operative and intensive care unit, dialysis, and neonatal intensive care. We are renovating the current main building to provide more space for the medical intermediate care ward.
