Hospital opens new dental GA facility

Sir John Monash Private Hospital has opened a dedicated dental treatment room. The service provides general anaesthetics for paediatric and adult patients. An anaesthetist is available most days.

The hospital says that the room is currently running at about at 35 per cent utilisation.

The creation of the new service follows the closure of Dandenong Surgicentre, resulting in ADAVB members requesting to use the Sir John Monash Private Hospital facilities. The Dandenong facility had been used by around 260 dentists.
