Portiuncula Hospital has reopened a newly refurbished 29-bed surgical ward.
The upgraded St John’s Surgical Ward comprises seven single rooms, two semi-private rooms and four multi-bed rooms.
The refurbishment includes state-of-the-art facilities, with each bed space equipped with the digital Irish National Early Warning System.
This enables healthcare teams to monitor patients effectively while providing direct access to diagnostic services such as laboratory and radiology results.
Hospital Manager James Keane said the redevelopment marks a major step forward in improving both the patient environment and the delivery of clinical care.
“This refurbishment will provide much better accommodation for surgical patients while also helping staff deliver higher-quality care.
The project highlights the hospital’s ongoing commitment to strengthening surgical services at Portiuncula University Hospital and supports the objectives of the HSE Service Plan, including efforts to reduce waiting lists.”
