Endoscopy equipment upgrades for Corowa Health Service

In May, surgery at Corowa Health Service was temporarily paused to allow for required maintenance of the theatre suite.

While some maintenance work has already been completed, further works are still required.

The District is proceeding with equipment upgrades that will allow the resumption of surgical endoscopy services.

Work will be undertaken as soon as possible, with endoscopy services expected to be able to resume at the facility in early 2025.

MLHD is continuing to work with individual patients who require planned surgery to ensure they receive care within appropriate timeframes, and arrangements are being made for patients to undergo their procedures at a nearby facility.

The District has been in regular contact with staff, clinicians, patients and other stakeholders in relation to the temporary pause and will continue to keep them updated.

We apologise for the inconvenience this is causing the Corowa community and we thank them for their patience as these important upgrades are completed.
