The Consell Executiu has approved designating the new complex as a strategic project for the country, alongside the future Clínic-Universitat de Barcelona Health Campus. According to Paneque, this declaration "allows us to accelerate the urban and energy procedures linked to both projects to maintain the timelines."
The measure grants political and institutional priority to both campuses and will strengthen their position to access priority processing for permits related to connection and capacity to the state's electrical grid, a crucial point for large healthcare, university, and research facilities requiring significant energy.
This decision comes after Infraestructures.cat definitively awarded the architectural project for the Health Campus of the Girona Health Region to the UTE formed by PINEARQ, Brullet de Luna, and associates, and PEGI Engineering. The awarded team will have two years to draft the preliminary, basic, and executive projects for the complex.
Paneque emphasized that the future Trueta is more than just the construction of a new hospital, stating that these projects "go far beyond the healthcare scope," as they combine assistance, teaching, research, innovation, and economic activity. She defined them as "driving projects for local development" and positioned the Health Campus of Girona as one of the two hubs through which Catalonia aims to project itself internationally in biomedical research and scientific talent.
