The Accident and Emergency Department at the hospital will be extensively refurbished as part of the renovation. The current service area will be temporarily relocated to the old Physiotherapy Department located on the eastern section of the hospital, during renovation.
The operating theater will be renovated and enhanced to accommodate two brand-new theaters. Additional day-surgery beds and overall improvement in surgery accommodations are also planned. The renovations are designed to alleviate excessive congestion, patient waiting times, reduce patient and staff journeys, and enhance overall patient experience. The scheme is expected to take one year to complete.
The Rand Memorial Hospital was originally opened in 1969 as a private facility known as the Grand Bahama Clinic. This facility became a public hospital in 1971.
