The Royal Women’s and Royal Melbourne Hospitals welcome today’s budget announcement.
We believe this is the right decision for both hospitals and are very supportive of the change for several reasons, including reduced travel for patients / families and clinicians between sites, and improved operating costs and efficiency by operating on one site.
Our focus now shifts to the further expansion of our Parkville hospitals ensuring we can continue to be there for our community when it matters most, now and into the future.
We provide a media service from 6am to 10pm each day. Journalists are welcome to contact our media advisor on-call via the RMH Switchboard on (03) 9342 7000.
During business hours, journalists can email mh-communications@mh.org.au. We do not respond to emails outside business hours.
We urgently need to raise $2.5 million for a second CT scanner in our Emergency Department.
This is a vital piece of equipment that provides rapid and accurate diagnosis for trauma and stroke patients like Brianna.
