The opening of the new facility near the CBD is tipped to ease pressure on the state’s stressed health system.

Work has started on Adelaide’s new private hospital project in a major step for the healthcare sector.

Builders BESIX Watpac marked the start of construction on the Eastwood Private Hospital project at 204 Greenhill Rd, Eastwood, with a groundbreaking ceremony on Monday.

The six-story development on the former Cancer Council SA site includes a six-theatre floor, 51 patient beds, a multi-level car park, cafe and retail area, as well as medical imaging and pathology services.
