Dvůr Králové to receive new 140 million CZK pediatric vision clinic

The Hradec Králové Region has approved a public tender for the construction of a new medical facility for treating visual impairments in Dvůr Králové nad Labem. The project, estimated to cost 140 million CZK, aims to replace the current facility on Sladkovského Street, which lacks barrier-free access and sufficient accommodation for children and their parents.

The new building will be located within the Children's Center on R. A. Dvorského Street. It is planned to be developed using the ‘Design & Build’ method, where a single contractor handles both the design and construction. The facility will include medical, residential, and educational sections, as well as outdoor playgrounds and leisure areas.

This facility is the only one of its kind in the Czech Republic, specializing in the treatment of amblyopia (lazy eye) and strabismus (squint) in children aged four to twelve. Currently, the 30-bed facility serves approximately 200 pediatric patients annually. Construction is expected to begin next year.
