in base view, hospital button is enabled if no hopsital is built.
it should be changed to be like transfer button - be disabled and show tooltip "no hospital built" (and maybe "hospital will be finished in n days", is it is in the process of being built).

additional info :
when hospital is being built, it's button in base is enabled, but not operational. it should be disabled with a tooltip noting that hospital is still being built.

The tooltip is not showing how long it will take to finish the building, but it is shown in the buildings submenu.
If we want to upgrade the tooltip with this info we would have to do it for all buildings which have buttons to access them in the main base menu (like aliencontainment, or aircraft/hangar, etc.) to have consistency there also, but I do not think that it would be necessary to have this info in the main menu, it is enough that all advanced buildings info (like requirements or building time) is shown in the buildings submenu...

This has been implemented already.

The button is greyed out and unusable until the construction of the hospital is finished and there is a tooltip stating that it is inactive.

The tooltip is not showing how long it will take to finish the building, but this information is shown in the buildings submenu.

If we want to upgrade the tooltip with this info we would have to do it for all buildings which have buttons to access them in the main base menu (like aliencontainment, or aircraft/hangar, etc.) to have consistency there also, but I do not think that it would be essential to have this info available in the main menu also, it is enough that all buildings info is shown in the buildings submenu.

Setting this item to pending.
