Actual construction work on the new $10,000, 000 Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center began today as bulldozers started clearing a site for the erection of a nurses school, the first building to go up.

The second and third buildings to be erected will be an Outpatient Clinic and a Cancer Institute.
