Patients in the central west will soon be able to receive treatment closer to home, with the announcement Longreach will receive a new $2.7 million renal dialysis unit.
The new nurse-assisted, two-chair dialysis unit is expected to be operational at Longreach Hospital by the end of 2022.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the Central West Hospital and Health Service had been allocated funding as part of the government’s expansion of rural and remote renal dialysis services.
The funding is part of the government’s $27.7 million election commitment to deliver 33 renal dialysis treatment spaces across regional Queensland.
“Keeping Queenslanders safe and creating jobs are my two main priorities,” she said.
