| Bon Secours Hospital Galway is a 90 bed acute care facility,
providing a wide range of surgical and medical services. The
hospital was founded in 1954 as Calvary Hospital, subsequently
traded as Galvia Private Hospital and became part of the
Bon Secours Group in 1999. Currently, the hospital admits 12,000
patients per annum, comprising 4,000 in-patients and 8,000
daycases.
The hospital has just completed the building of a significant expansion,
which comprises a new Theatre Block, Patient Accommodation Unit,
High Dependency Unit and Radiology Department. The development
which involves an investment of €30m also includes a
Consultant Clinic on site. The clinic building will be ready
for occupation by Easter 2006. The expansion will modernise
and double the surgical capacity of the hospital and will
provide 30 extra beds overall.
All main surgical and medical specialties (with the exception
of cardiac surgery and neurosurgery) are represented at the
hospital and Consultants with Admitting Privileges include
Consultants with appointments at University College Hospital,
Galway and Merlin Park Hospital, Galway, alongside Consultants
