“I am particularly delighted that Ramsay Health Care has made a decision to upgrade the hospital so soon after taking ownership of the hospital last year – it shows that the Company is committed to the provision of quality private healthcare in the Ipswich region.

“In three years, St Andrew’s Ipswich will celebrate its centenary of caring for patients in the Ipswich and surrounding regions. This will be a major milestone for the people and staff of St Andrew’s Ipswich.”
