CUMH launches five-day blitz to cut gynaecology waiting list by 500

A maternity hospital which had the worst waiting list in the country for outpatient gynaecology services has launched a five-day blitz to reduce by 500 the number waiting for treatment.

Two years ago, 4,700 women were on the outpatient gynaecology waiting list at Cork University Maternity Hospital (CUMH) and consultants warned that women’s lives were being jeopardised.
