Galway Clinic

Why we've selected Galway Clinic

The Galway Clinic is situated on the outskirts of Galway City on the Martin Roundabout in Doughiska, and it opened to provide health care services in 2004. It was the first independently-funded hospital to be opened in Ireland in twenty years and it attracted much media coverage and attention, as well as many visitors. The clinic is a community hospital and provides twenty-four hour health care services. Though the ethos of the Clinic is Roman Catholic, it welcomes patients of all faiths and cultures. There are in excess of 120 physicians and surgeons who have admitting and operating privileges, and some have consultant suites within the clinic. The Clinic has an occupancy rate of 95% and an average length of stay of 3.6 days. It has 146 in-patient beds; eight of which are ICU beds and the remaining 138 are distributed amongst five in-patient units (Mother Teresa Unit, O’Malley Unit, Freyer Unit, John Paul II Unit and Our Lady of Knock Unit). There is a Same Day Surgery unit and Emergency Room. There are seven operating suites, an endoscopy suite, a cath lab and an oncology day unit. Diagnostic modalities include CT, PET/CT and MRI, among others.
