Criticism

One of the concerns over city hospitals is the closure of other hospitals. Some argue that new shopping malls or more profitable buildings will be built after shutting down the hospitals.^[3] Another concern is the lack of infrastructure, where the complexes will be built. Some argue that the roads are insufficient to carry the traffic of so many people.
