A $5.15-million operating theatre planned for Stawell hospital will boost surgical capacity and deliver optimum patient care.
Grampians Health Stawell announced plans for a second theatre to meet growing patient demand and position the hospital as a specialised healthcare provider in ophthalmology, endoscopy, gynaecology and general surgery.
Grampians Health chief executive Dale Fraser said the expansion was in response to extensive consultations with healthcare professionals and staff.
“The revised blueprint incorporates a comprehensive suite of enhancements including an endoscopy reprocessing room, sterile stock storeroom, staff write-up area, expanded recovery section, eye block anaesthesia space, improved staff amenities and cutting-edge medical equipment,” he said. “This comprehensive approach ensures a holistic and efficient environment for patients to receive care and for our staff to work.”
