A consortium led by Vamed has handed over the first new building at the University Hospital in Kiel. The new unit took less than four months to build and will house a haematology-oncology ward. The building is part of a comprehensive construction and modernization project at the hospital. Completion is scheduled for 2019.

Fresenius Kabi is expanding its Melrose Park, Illinois site to significantly increase capacity for the production of injectable generic pharmaceuticals. The multi-stage expansion at the facility, just outside of Chicago, will include construction of a number of new buildings. Completion is scheduled for 2026, following an investment of nearly $250 million. www.fresenius-kabi.us
