Genoa, 23 October 2023.<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0Work on the construction of the “Nuovo Gaslini” has started: the\u00a0IRCCS\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Istituto Giannina Gaslini\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0signed the agreement today with the concessionaire\u00a0\u00a0Zena Project<\/strong>\u00a0, a project company created by the temporary grouping of companies\u00a0\u00a0Cmb-Mieci -Arcoservizi,\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0and will make use of the Project Management Consulting service of\u00a0\u00a0RINA \u2013 PROGER<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n The president of the IRCCS Giannina Gaslini Edoardo Garrone, the general director Renato Botti and the head of the Technical Office and RUP of the project, Ezio Nicol\u00e0s Bruno Urbina, presented the construction plan of the “Cantiere Nuovo Gaslini”, consisting of the\u00a0construction<\/strong>\u00a0of\u00a0\u00a0a new hospital pavilion, called Padiglione Zero, of a new technological hub<\/strong>\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0and in the renovation of 5 historic pavilions with the consequent functional reorganization of the entire polyclinic.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWith today’s signature the first phase of the works for the ‘Nuovo Gaslini’ begins, our pediatric hospital has a unique history, which began in the 1930s, but its structural part, divided into 20 pavilions, is not today more adequate to meet the needs of modern healthcare, which provides structures organized by intensity of care, based on common resources, from the operating block to the laboratories, to the high, medium and low intensity departments” explains the president of the Gaslini<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0Institute\u00a0\u00a0,\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Edoardo Garrone<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0\u201cThe solution was to build a modern hospital pavilion from scratch in the center of the historic hospital, demolishing two pavilions and building a new one at the top of the hill, called\u00a0\u00a0Padiglione Zero\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0to indicate a new beginning.\u00a0Combined with the current central pavilions, it will constitute the acute hospital area.\u00a0The modernization of the hospital takes shape in record time: a technologically cutting-edge future characterized by sustainability is emerging, which allows us to preserve the moral, health, scientific and also historical landscape heritage of the Gaslini intact” concludes<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0the\u00a0\u00a0President Garrone.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201c\u00a0Today is a historic day not only for Gaslini, but also for Liguria<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0A new challenge begins which, respecting tradition, looks to the future and innovation of the Institute, an absolute point of reference for pediatric care, research and medicine at an international level for 85 years.\u00a0My\u00a0\u00a0thanks go to the entire Gaslini team, who, a few months after the award of the tender, managed to start the executive phase, once again<\/strong>\u00a0demonstrating seriousness, competence and, naturally, great human motivation, an essential element.\u00a0The common objective is that this hospital continues to guarantee children the best possible healthcare, in a cutting-edge structure and with new services also for families for an increasingly tailored care of small patients” commented<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0the\u00a0l president of the Liguria Region Giovanni Toti\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0during the presentation.<\/p>\n \u201c\u00a0Today the new Gaslini is officially born, extraordinary news and a great opportunity for growth for the whole city<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0A project that does not just represent a simple modernization of existing structures, but which will contribute to a futuristic and at the same time sustainable urban development in one of the most valuable areas of Genoa.\u00a0The Gaslini has always been a source of great pride for our city, a center of excellence which from today will be even more at the forefront on an international level”\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0declared the\u00a0\u00a0mayor of Genoa Marco Bucci<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen we talk about Gaslini, no particular declinations are needed: this name includes all the preparation, the professionalism, the ability to take care of small patients both at a Ligurian and national level.\u00a0As a historic institute, the hospital has come to terms with its structural limitations and, with the advancement of new technologies and innovations in medicine, a change in the building part has therefore become necessary.\u00a0The start of work on the construction of a new pavilion represents the acceleration necessary to offer, within a reasonable time, an institute that is in step with the times.\u00a0Gaslini is thus preparing to face the new challenges in pediatric medicine with a new structure but also with a new training center recently inaugurated in Villa Quartara: thus closing the circle of an expertise that can be further consolidated at a national level and beyond \u201d\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0commented\u00a0\u00a0the Liguria Region Health Councilor, Angelo Gratarola<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n The public-private partnership at the service of the Public Administration<\/strong><\/p>\n The\u00a0\u00a0general director of the Gaslini Institute, Renato Botti<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0explained:\u00a0\u00a0\u201cthe Nuovo Gaslini comes to life thanks to a\u00a0\u00a0complex project of technological, organizational and functional innovation<\/strong>\u00a0, which was possible thanks to the\u00a0\u00a0public-private partnership<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0A European public tender was called and\u00a0\u00a0in 18 months Gaslini went from the idea to the awarding of the works and now the executive phase is starting<\/strong>\u00a0. Padiglione Zero, which represents the first phase and the heart of the intervention, will be completed in compliance with the milestones envisaged by the PNRR (which finances a portion of the project worth 10 million euros out of a total operation of 180 million euros) \u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The partnership, if well managed, should guarantee certain deadlines and requires a leap in quality from the public client.\u00a0The private counterpart must also form a network of professionals capable of presenting themselves as the sole interlocutor of the Gaslini Institute.\u00a0The entire operation from a real estate and structural point of view will be completed in six and a half years:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0three years for the construction of Padiglione Zero, three and a half years for the renovation of the other pavilions.\u00a0The partnership provides for the management of\u00a0\u00a0facility management<\/em>\u00a0services , including energy supply, for 19 years from the construction of Padiglione Zero.<\/p>\n \u201cIn addition to the management of these services, the\u00a0\u00a0private sector finances the operation with approximately 130 million<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0One of the advantages of the partnership consists in the possibility of starting without having to have the entire amount of the sums already in the budget, which is what you have to do with a normal contract.\u00a0In this case the investment is around\u00a0\u00a0180 million euros<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0and we – explains the\u00a0\u00a0general director Renato Botti<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0– started with a capital, between public financial sources and sources from the Gaslini system (Gerolamo Gaslini Foundation and Giannina Gaslini Institute) which reaches 50 million.\u00a0This is a courageous and open approach, which we are using in an innovative and effective way, demonstrating that even the Public Administration can carry out ambitious projects”.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Syriana Bertacchini, President of Zena Project and director of the project and services division for CMB<\/strong>\u00a0, showed pride and emotion for the start of the construction sites: \u201c\u00a0Working on this work is an honor and a challenge.\u00a0It is an honor, as promoting and constructing companies, to commit ourselves to this client and to what it represents in Italian public healthcare, to achieve the common objective of creating even more efficient structures and departments for the little ones.\u00a0The challenge is to do it within a highly complex and structured reality, acting within a lively and busy environment, such as a hospital<\/em>\u00a0.”<\/p>\n \u00a0\u201cWe thank the\u00a0\u00a0Gerolamo Gaslini Foundation<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0which allowed us to start the design process, allocating 20 million euros, the\u00a0\u00a0Querci Foundation<\/strong>\u00a0, which has actively supported the hospital for many years and we also thank all the private individuals who decide to contribute to the realization of the \u201cNuovo Gaslini\u201d, through our new fundraising foundation\u00a0\u00a0Gaslininsieme<\/strong>\u00a0, as Pintus and Costa Crociere have just done, on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Italian company.\u00a0We hope for further public funding from the State and the Region in the future \u2013 comments the\u00a0\u00a0president of the Gaslini Institute, Edoardo Garrone<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u2013 Given the importance of this structural intervention, we need allocations that can guarantee sustainability, in order to find further resources even in capital account”.<\/em><\/p>\n The four phases of the intervention<\/strong><\/p>\n The intervention will be in 4 phases:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0the first consists of the construction of\u00a0\u00a0Padiglione Zero\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0and will end in June 2026, the second in the renovation of the pads.\u00a017, 18, and 6 and will end in June 2028, the third involves the renovation of the pad.\u00a016th will end in August 2029, the fourth will carry out the renovation of the pad.\u00a015 and will end in 2030.<\/p>\n Padiglione Zero will be created in three years and will centralize all emergency-urgent, high-intensity care and surgical functions for children, future mothers and families, guaranteeing maximum operational efficiency and excellent quality of care.\u00a0In fact, the following will be located here: an emergency-urgency area functionally related to the hospital area of \u200b\u200bdiagnostic services;\u00a012 operating rooms<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0(of which 3 hybrid);\u00a08 labor\/delivery rooms<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0(one of which is equipped for water births);\u00a070 beds in the<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0pediatric and neonatal intensive and sub-intensive care areas;\u00a0130 beds in the hospital area for ordinary hospitalizations<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0(pediatric and maternal-child surgical).\u00a0The total beds for the Genoa headquarters of Gaslini will be 493.<\/strong><\/p>\n The work will continue with a\u00a0\u00a0second phase of renovation of Pavilions 6, 17 and 18, lasting approximately 18 months,<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0in order to improve the organizational efficiency of the Medical, Hemato-oncology, Neurosciences and Territorial Assistance Area, with the creation of new environments in which technology, research and clinical assistance integrate together, for the well-being of young patients.<\/p>\n The third and fourth phases<\/strong>\u00a0will also start in the following two years\u00a0 : pavilion 15 will be completely dedicated to research, with the placement of all the laboratories\u00a0\u00a0in a single building, while in pavilion.\u00a0Low intensity activities (Rehabilitation and Community Hospital) will be located in 16.<\/p>\n Subsequently,\u00a0\u00a0the complementary services of research, training, reception, company nursery and nursery, small sales areas and spaces for voluntary associations will be strengthened<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0The executive phase, which will therefore have a total duration of approximately six and a half years, also includes a\u00a0\u00a0functional reorganization of the entire hospital grounds and its green areas<\/strong>\u00a0, and will be based on a flexible, pleasant and safe architecture, designed following the main environmental sustainability protocols.\u00a0At the end of the construction of Padiglione Zero , maintenance services<\/strong>\u00a0will also start\u00a0 , including the supply of energy carriers, with a concession with an effective duration of 22 years\u00a0.<\/p>\n \u201c\u00a0During all phases of the works, the normal development and functioning of all existing activities within the institute will be ensured<\/strong>\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0with respect for children, families and all staff<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0Controlled demolition will adopt all\u00a0 safety\u00a0precautions\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0to minimize the spread of dust, noise and vibrations<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0Before the demolitions, the relocation of the functions will take place, some of which is already underway: the training center and the nursing school have already been relocated to Villa Quartara;\u00a0the Rare Diseases Desk, the social workers area and the Children and Families Reception Center are being moved to Pavilion 13. The Institute’s operators are always updated on all movements through the Gaslini hospital intranet” explained<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0the\u00a0\u00a0responsible for Technical Services<\/strong>\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0Ezio Nicol\u00e0s Bruno Urbina<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n Traffic and parking<\/strong><\/p>\n Traffic in the areas surrounding the hospital\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0will not be changed until the end of December 2023<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0The first modification will take place starting from January 2024 when, in order to allow the transit of vehicles for the supply of construction site materials, the road system could be modified in via Redipuglia, but limited to the stretch that goes from Largo Francesco Cattanei to the entrance of the Hospital.\u00a0Two alternatives are being evaluated with the Local Police and Technical Offices of the Municipality of Genoa: travel via Redipuglia in an alternate or two-way direction; the changes will be promptly communicated thanks to dedicated communication channels.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.gaslini.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/firma-concessione-1024x682.jpg\")
