Hospital launches $8m intensivecare unit

More than 1000 patients are expected to be able to be treated at St Vincent’s Private Hospital Toowoomba’s new $8m intensive care unit.Built on top of the East Toowoomba hospital’s recently-built emergency department, the new ICU features eight beds in large rooms with large views of the city.More crucially, the unit includes two negative-pressure rooms that will allow people with infectious diseases to be treated.St Vinnie’s nurse unit manager Dinesh Kathayat said the Covid-19 pandemic had exposed some of the hospital’s ageing infrastructure, with the new ICU ensuring it could deliver the best medical care for current standards.
