New hospital to provide free specialist care for disadvantaged patients

A NEW private hospital due to be opened in Adare at the end of next year will give free care to disadvantaged patients from home and abroad who need specialist treatment.

The €100 million Adare Hospital & Clinic will finance such procedures through a registered charity, Adare Medical Research Foundation, which is being set up in conjunction with the new hospital.

Tom Kane, who heads the Adare project, said cleft palate operations and procedures to correct facial deformities in children would be available through the foundation.
