General Surgery

Our visiting surgeons and specialists perform a wide range of general surgical, gynaecological and orthopaedic procedures. There are two fully equipped operating theatres with the very latest in medical technology available. For example, we were one of the first hospitals in South Australia to pioneer laparoscopic (key hole) surgery.


Medical

Patients with acute medical conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), chronic obstructive airways disease, asthma or diabetes for example may be admitted and managed by their family practitioner. Visiting physicians are available for referral. Our nursing staff are expert at discharge planning and work closely with patients, carers and families to ensure a safe, timely return to the community.


Obstetrics

Our high standard of accommodation and services is maintained in our modern Obstetrics Unit. We guarantee you a private room - with private en-suite facilities. The only time you'll share your room, or bathroom, is if your partner chooses to stay with you. There are lounge areas on every floor - with complimentary tea and coffee making facilities for you, your family and friends to use.

Once you've chosen to have your baby with us, our care for you begins. Whether you're having your first baby or a subsequent child, North Eastern offers advice and support for you and your partner during your pregnancy and after your baby is born, for as long as you need.
