The diagnostic center of the hospital, as well as, the newly constructed Heart Surgery Center meets the highest international standards.

Are both commas necessary?

I'd do this to avoid confusion, and I think this one can get fairly confusing.

The diagnostic center of the hospital and the newly constructed Heart Surgery Center meet the highest international standards.

The second comma is misplaced. It should come after Center.

(1) I think that it should read:

The diagnostic center of the hospital, as well as the newly

constructed Heart Surgery Center, meets the highest

international standards.

(2) As you know, if we deleted (erased) the words between

the commas, it would still be a good sentence:

The diagnostic center of the hospital meets the highest

international standards.

(3) "As well as the newly constructed Heart Surgery Center"

is just extra information. You could have also used dashes or

parentheses:

The diagnostic center of the hospital -- as well as the newly

constructed Heart Surgery Center -- meets the ....


The diagnostic center of the hospital (as well as the newly

constructed Heart Surgery Center) meets the ....
