A new private hospital that is set to deliver medical and surgical services will open early next month at New Epping.
Northern Private Hospital will be operated under Ramsay Health Care, a global operator of private hospitals and primary care clinics with 74 Australian sites.
Located at 12 Osburn Place, on the corner of Osburn Place and Norwell Street in the Riverlee New Epping estate, patients will be able to access a range of specialities including general medicine, vascular, plastic surgery, cardiology, orthopaedics, ear nose and throat, general surgery, gynaecology, urology, oncology, haematology, and gastroenterology.
Delivering high quality health care, the private hospital will use advanced digital technology to provide better patient experience, such as personalised comfort and entertainment, digital patient tracking, analytics, and decision support.
Ramsay will open the hospital in two stages, with the first stage to be completed this year and the second stage anticipated to open in 2027.
The first stage of the $133-million private hospital includes 70 inpatient beds including four for high-dependency patients and six in the critical care unit.
Stage one also features a cardiac catheterisation laboratory, 10 oncology chairs, four state-of-the-art operating theatres, and a super-theatre featuring a hybrid and general theatre for flexibility of use.
The Northern Private Hospital is co-located with the existing public Northern Hospital with a linked bridge to connect the two facilities.
The site is set to open on February 5, 2024.
