The new hospital project in Delémont will be built without resorting to public funds. The managers of the Jura hospital and the Minister of Health, Stéphane Theurillat, presented this Friday morning the consolidated financing model of the future acute care site at Gare. The latter must cost a total of 160 million francs and its funding will be provided by three sources: local private partners will ensure 65 million loans “on so -called” patriotic “” conditions. The Jura’s Pension Fund will grant 20 million loan to the employer, while a Swiss financial institution “in the lead” (Editor’s note: whose name has not been revealed) will grant 75 million external bank funding to market conditions.
No subsidy or budgetary contribution was asked for the canton of the Jura. However, loans from the Pension Fund and the bank depend on an explicit public guarantee of the State. Parliament is expected to rule by the end of 2025 on a cantonal warranty of 95 million francs in order to formally confirm these loans.
Launch of an information campaign
The project aims to replace the current infrastructure of the Aclémont treble care site. It should allow H-JU to offer the population “a hospital site for acute care for future generations”. A renovation would imply the demolition of buildings and would lead “to a less optimal, very expensive, non -financial solution, and without lasting effects,” said the Jura hospital. The institution also launched this Friday an information campaign with a website dedicated to the new hospital at the New Hopital.ch address. /comm-gtr
