New state-of-the-art extensions at Maitland Private Hospital are something of the future. Modern medicine has been working with advanced technology to create 'Stryker theatres', surgeries that no longer don floor rolling and movable trays but rather now a fully integrated pendant system. Along with voice activation technology, all equipment and camera needs are contained in a roof mounted cavity to improve surgeons productivity and access.
The extensions will include two of these new theatres along with additional day surgery beds to compensate for the ever-increasing number of patients desperately requiring procedures. CEO at Maitland Private, Sue Ellen Bloomfield is excited for the opening and says the facility will entice a broader range of specialist surgeons to practice in the new space. She also says the development will provide patients in the Hunter Region with an alternative to travelling down into Sydney to receive adequate treatment.
Surgeries will begin to take place next week after the Department of Healths official approvement for the new building.
