Skåne is growing rapidly, and with a population that is growing faster than the rest of Sweden, the need for specialist healthcare and more hospital beds is increasing. In order to meet these needs, a new hospital site is going to be constructed at Södervärnstorget in Malmö. The new specialist hospital will offer specialist healthcare in functionally adapted facilities, designed to manage present and future healthcare needs.

“This is an important investment for both us and Skåne. The new hospital will make healthcare more accessible and more efficient, while we future-proof our activities and will be able to meet the increasing need for specialist healthcare”, says Jens Eriksson, CEO of Aleris Sweden.

The new specialist hospital will be adapted for a higher patient flow, and will be able to handle up to 50,000 healthcare contacts a year. The hospital will be equipped with flexible operating rooms and modern workstations to efficiently meet changing healthcare needs.

During 2024, the number of operations increased by 36% compared to 2023. Aleris has observed this increase over several years, and the trend is clear; the need for healthcare continues to grow. In order to cope with healthcare needs and create the opportunity for patients to get help in time, we’re increasing our capacity in terms of both outpatient clinics and operating rooms. Our operating capacity will be extended from three to five operating rooms to meet increased demand.

“We’re building the hospital with a focus on future needs, which means a flexible solution that will enable rapid adaptation to new demands and challenges”, says Lucas Johansson, Operations Manager at Aleris Specialist Healthcare in Malmö.

It’s primarily the operating rooms’ capacity and modern design that will enable more patients to receive various forms of specialist healthcare. The big difference lies in the fact that limitations are now removed, increasing accessibility and efficiency.

The specialist hospital will distinguish itself in numerous ways from a traditional hospital. Instead of having separate units, the 28 consultation rooms and 12 hospital beds will be available for use by all 14 outpatient clinics on site. The hospital will oversee operations, outpatient clinics, rehabilitation, care units and administration.

“We have strived to create a healthcare environment that is both functional and future-proofed, where patients’ need are focused on and healthcare processes optimised,” continues Lucas Johansson.

The hospital is being built in such a way that early mobilisation is encouraged after surgery, in other words the patient is up and moving around soon after, which is a key factor for the long-term outcome of the operation. Pre-operative outpatient clinic activities will be extended to further improve patient flows. By means of a holistic approach to operations, interventions and treatments, all patients are ensured a seamless healthcare flow.

In addition, greater opportunities are created for investments in areas such as health, weight management, wellness and vaccines. Customised-corporate healthcare will also be further developed, where specialist knowledge can contribute to providing faster and more efficient help for companies and their employees.

Hemsö tasked to build the specialist hospital

Hemsö is responsible for planning, developing and designing both the specialist hospital and the adjacent areas. The plot, which encompasses 11,000 square metres, will be environmentally certified in accordance with Miljöbyggnad Silver level, with the Gold level for energy consumption. Aleris will run its activities on the top three floors and the specialist hospital will also accommodate a cafeteria and restaurant.

“Our goal is to create a specialist hospital that both meets present healthcare needs and which is sustainable and future-proofed”, says Robert Cardell, project developer at Hemsö.

Hemsö already owns several properties for public use, such as schools and 60 healthcare centres throughout Sweden, and has extensive experience in creating sustainable and functional facilities for the community. The company is looking forward to actively contributing to the development of Malmö, and to strengthening the city’s municipal infrastructure.

The specialist hospital will be located in the middle of Malmö with good connections to Skåne University Hospital. The construction start date for the new specialist hospital is planned for the summer of 2025 and completion is expected at the start of 2027.

Specialist Hospital in Numbers:

  • The specialist hospital will occupy 3,000 square metres of the plot’s total area of 11,000 square metres.
  • The hospital will have a capacity of 50,000 healthcare contacts per year.
  • The new hospital will accommodate 5 operating rooms, with which more operations can be performed simultaneously, thus reducing waiting times.
  • 12 inpatient beds.
  • 12 pre and post operative recovery beds will ensure the right pre and post operative nursing care.
  • 14 specialist outpatient clinics will provide a broad offering of specialist healthcare at a single location.
  • 28 new outpatient clinics, assessment and examination rooms will improve both the work environment and patient experience.
  • A centrally located sterilisation unit will increase patient safety by cleaning, disinfecting and sterilising instruments.
  • The hospital will offer planned healthcare, including inpatient and outpatient specialist healthcare, as well as day surgery.
  • Administrative facilities will streamline the hospital’s functions and processes.
  • Public environments such as a swimming pool, gym, restaurant, cafeteria and other service functions will improve patient and visitor experience alike.
