ALICE SPRINGS HOSPITAL

---

Alice Springs Hospital (ASH) is the Regional Base Hospital of the Central Australian Region covering a one million square kilometre catchment area. The Hospital provides a range of services not normally seen in a hospital of its size, yet essential for the diverse and scattered communities it serves.

The Hospital provides a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic services for both inpatients and outpatients.

The Hospital has secondary roles in staff education and training, research and health promotion, and in contributing to the regional development of health services.

For reasons of geographic isolation, Alice Springs Hospital provides full-time and visiting specialist medical services beyond the level usually provided by hospitals of similar size in towns closer to major cities.

There are both Specialist Medical Officers and Resident Medical Officers in all fields. Visiting specialists service the hospital in the areas of Cardiology, Neurology, Endocrinology, Plastics, Oral Surgery, Pain Relief, Dermatology Rehabilitation, Paediatric Orthopaedic, Urology and Paediatric Surgery.

Their Mission Statement is "Australia's central hospital is committed to all people needing our services.Through the dedication of our staff we deliver quality care that is compassionate and progressive."

A major redevelopment over the past couple of years has seen an extension to the hospital. It houses a new Emergency Department, Operating Theatres and Same Day Procedure Unit, Intensive Care, Coronary Care and High Dependency Units, Radiology Department and Sterilising Department.
