Trofa Saúde Invests €8-Million to Build Hospital in Vida Ovar

Trofa Saúde will invest eight million euros to build a hospital in a former Dolce Vita. Vida Ovar will host the Portuguese healthcare group’s 18th hospital.

The shopping centre announced today the construction of a private hospital in the space, in a total investment of eight million euros by Grupo Trofa Saúde, according to the Portuguese newspaper Jornal de Negócios.

Trofa Saúde Ovar will have a total area of 3,000 square metres, an outpatient centre with over 30 medical, surgical and complementary specialities, enough for around 300,000 people from the municipalities of Ovar, Santa Maria da Feira and Estarreja. Construction is expected to start in the coming weeks and may be completed by May 2022.

Joining Trofa Saúde São João da Madeira, and the seventh unit in the district of Porto, which already has units in Trofa, Matosinhos, Maia, Alfena, Vila Nova de Gaia and Vila do Conde, Trofa Saúde Ovar will be the group’s second hospital unit in the district of Aveiro.

Vida Ovar has 67 shops and restaurants distributed over two floors, with a gross area of over 20 thousand square metres, and a free car park with 238 covered parking spaces and 1,080 in the open air.
