Across our three hospitals we perform more than 50,000 surgical procedures each year, covering a full spectrum of specialties.
From routine procedures like hernia repairs to highly complex operations such as cardiac surgery, robotic-assisted procedures, and paediatric cardiac interventions, our teams provide expert care in both elective and emergency settings.
