The Scientific-Research Institute of Lung Diseases in Baku will shut its building temporarily for renovation work, with the facility’s operations continuing at another address.
Patients at the Scientific-Research Institute of Lung Diseases have already been transferred to another medical facility ahead of the closure, according to the decision. Repair work will begin at the building once the move is complete.
The institute is expected to be temporarily relocated to one of two buildings on the balance sheet of Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Health — either in the Mardakan or Saray settlements. A final decision on which building will be used has not yet been announced.
Both locations already have medical infrastructure in place. Saray settlement has a modular tuberculosis clinic, while Mardakan settlement is home to Lung and Tuberculosis Dispensary No. 9.
