Moorabbin Hospital welcomes Victoria’s Health Minister

Monash Health this week welcomed Minister for Health, Mary-Anne Thomas MP and Member for Bentleigh, Nick Staikos MP to Moorabbin Hospital to tour our two newly refurbished Surgery Theatres.

The Minister was greeted by the Monash Health team of Prof Eugine Yafele, Chief Executive Officer; Bernadette Comitti, Interim Deputy Chief Operating Officer – Monash Surgery, Perioperative and Procedural Services Casey Hospital | Dandenong Hospital; Dr Rabi Solaiman, Director of Orthopaedics at Monash Children’s Hospital and Monash Moorabbin; and Rebecca Donald, Director of Clinical Operations – Perioperative Services.

The two theatres, used for Orthopaedic surgery, have been upgraded thanks to $4.3 million from the Victorian Government’s Metropolitan Health Infrastructure Fund.

Monash Health is Victoria’s largest provider of planned surgeries, undertaking over 32,000 planned surgeries in the past year.

The refurbished theatres and Monash Health’s surgical reform, supported by the Victorian Government, have resulted in significant improvements to patients including reduced wait times and shorter length-of-stay.
