Mackay Base Hospital’s cardiac catheter laboratory has reopened, boasting upgraded equipment and improved diagnostic capabilities following a decade of service.
The scheduled upgrades mark the end of the lab’s 10-year lifecycle, replacing essential equipment and enhancing the facility’s ability to deliver cutting-edge cardiac care. The improvements promise to benefit patients by ensuring better access to advanced diagnostics and treatment options.
Staff have undergone comprehensive training with a clinical application specialist to become proficient with the newly installed equipment. Ongoing support will be provided to ensure a seamless transition.
The cardiac catheter laboratory, which first opened in 2014, has grown significantly over the years, becoming a 24/7 service offering an extensive range of cardiac care. Clinical and project teams implemented robust contingency plans to maintain patient care during the upgrade period.
A spokesperson from the Mackay Base Hospital emphasised that the investment in the cath lab represents a commitment to providing the best possible outcomes for patients in the region.
