Foundation stone laid for new heart center

Six operating theatres and state-of-the-art equipment

The Heart Center is being built on an area of around 18,000 square meters and will be part of the Saxony Health Cluster of Sana Kliniken AG. In addition to patient rooms, the new five-storey building will include six operating theatres, five cardiac catheterization laboratories, state-of-the-art imaging, a central emergency room, research facilities and a helipad. The center is expected to treat more than 25,000 patients every year.

A "time capsule" was also placed in the foundation stone: it contains selected documents and objects from the present - including a book with personal greetings from staff and patients. This is intended to give future generations an insight into the time when the center was founded.
