Renal services at Geraldton Health Campus will soon be expanding with the tender for refurbishment works awarded to Crothers Construction Pty Ltd.
The State Government has allocated $2 million to the project, which will increase the hospital's renal dialysis treatment spaces from nine to 14, allowing up to 20 additional renal dialysis patients to receive treatments locally.
Additionally, the works will include medication and technician rooms, bulk store space, and enhanced clinical workspaces including the relocation of the staff station.
The tender award comes as the $192 million redevelopment of Geraldton Health Campus nears practical completion with the construction of a new radiation oncology service also underway.
The renal dialysis refurbishment works are expected to commence soon.
The State Government is investing a record $5.5 billion in health infrastructure, upgrading and building new hospitals and health facilities across the State.
