The director of SouthDoc has welcomed the announcement of funding for a local injury unit in Killarney.
Over €840,000 (€842,100) has been assigned for the appraisal stage of the proposed unit in Killarney, under the HSE’s newest capital plan.
The unit will focus on minor injuries like fractures, sprains, and burns, to reduce pressure on University Hospital Kerry (UHK).
