Jevíčko - The specialized treatment facility in Jevíčko in the Svitavy region is completing the first phase of renovations, which included the sanatoriums and the pulmonary pavilion. The director Lenka Smékalová told ČTK today. The buildings are protected as cultural monuments. The sanatoriums have unusual wooden elements.
The facility has existed since 1916 and treats around 2000 patients a year with pulmonary diseases or mobility issues.
The wooden sanatoriums, whose renovations cost around five million crowns, will be opened on November 20. The former children's pavilion, which will become a pulmonary rehabilitation center, will be completed by the end of the year. "In all floors of Pavilion S, there are large wooden structures where patients can go for fresh air. It's a beautiful historical affair," said Smékalová.
In the sanatoriums, the construction company restored the wooden structures, including the wooden fillings of the building's skeleton, renovated plumbing structures, roofs made of fired tiles, coatings, electrical installations, and lightning rods.
The children's pavilion was built after World War I, but the facility no longer has child patients, and the building has been closed since the late 1980s due to its dilapidated state. The new pulmonary rehabilitation unit will have 40 beds. "The reconstruction is fully funded from the regional budget, which allocated nearly 39 million crowns for this major investment," stated the governor Martin Netolický (ČSSD).
