A commitment to cutting-edge care 52
Eastwood Private Hospital, on the fringe of the Adelaide Parklands, opened to the public in June. Orthopaedic surgeon Dr James McLean was involved in the concept and design of the facility. Writing for medicSA, he says Eastwood integrates advanced medical technologies with a patient-centric approach. Innovation and care go hand in hand at Eastwood Private Hospital (Eastwood). The 52-bed facility, located on Greenhill Road near Adelaide’s CBD, is dedicated to ophthalmology, orthopaedic, plastic and general surgeries. Cutting-edge technologies are integrated into each step of our patients’ management journey. Eastwood contains six state-of the-art, enlarged operating theatres. AI-powered surgical planning, real-time surgical navigation and robotically-assisted surgical technologies are employed routinely to augment Eastwood surgeons’ minimally-invasive procedures. These innovations, combined with the latest technologies in laminar airflow systems, positive pressure ventilation and automated plasma and autoclave sterilisation systems, ensure that the highest standards of patient safety and infection control are met.
