The Inpatient Unit continues to be very busy accommodating medical, surgical, paediatric, midwifery and palliative care patients.  EGHS continues to accept a wide range of surgical patients with the visiting surgeons and our own on-site surgeon operating four days a week. 

The shared on-call weekend service with Stawell is working well, as does a number of other services EGHS shares with Stawell.  Our birth rate is increasing with many patients enjoying our wonderful birthing suite and we have been fortunate in attracting new midwifes to enhance our growing maternity service.  Once again, the Inpatient Unit has benefited from community support and donations enabling the purchase of new equipment including a Vital Signs Monitor.
