Currently, the clinical services building is undergoing final touches for its 12-week commissioning period.
It features new digital operating theatres and procedure rooms; the hospital’s first dental and oral health department; cancer therapy centre; and surgical services.
Additionally, the building doubles the ICU bed capacity; increases the number of maternity beds; and expands mental health services.
