$20m upgrade for Mareeba Hospital
PREMIER Steven Miles has today announced a $20 million upgrade to the Mareeba Hospital emergency department.
Premier Miles, Cook MP Cynthia Lui and Health Minister Shannon Fentiman announced that the upgrade, which would be completed by 2028, would boost capacity to 16 emergency department beds including two additional resuscitation spaces, an extra isolation space, two additional adult and paediatric spaces and a safe assessment room.
The project would also deliver a dedicated space to digitally link Mareeba Hospital and Cairns Hospital, to ensure patients requiring extra care can be remotely monitored and stabilised.
