The Infrastructure Development Office (GDI) said in a statement yesterday that it expects construction of an infectious disease centre next to the public Conde de Sao Januario Hospital Centre to get off the ground in the first quarter of next year.

According to the statement, construction of the infectious disease centre will be carried out in two phases – the foundations and the main structure.

The future infectious disease centre is officially known as Public Health Building – which is the first-phase extension project of the adjacent public hospital, according to the statement.
