Did you know?
Almost 4390 patients with COVID-19 have been
cared for in our hospitals between January 2020
and July 2022. In September 2021, to support
the Delta response, we fast-tracked the opening
of the $342 million redevelopment at Concord
Hospital to provide dedicated care for patients
with COVID-19.
In January 2022, during the Omicron wave, more
than 1000 COVID-19 positive patients were
treated in RPA, Concord and Canterbury hospitals
with an average of 263 beds utilised for patients
who were COVID positive. The length of stay was
more than triple the average length of stay for
other patients cared for in hospital at that time –
10.73 days compared to three.
