Queensland’s Cairns Hospital to open new specialist clinic before year-end
The facility will provide cardiopulmonary exercise testing.
The Cairns Hospital expansion project in Queensland, Australia, is progressing, with a new respiratory, rheumatology and tuberculosis clinic now practically complete.
The relocated space includes more consultation rooms and treatment areas, said Minister for Health and Ambulance Services Tim Nicholls.
“The addition of a respiratory laboratory will, for the first time, offer cardiopulmonary exercise testing to assess exercise capacity and how well the heart and lungs function during exercise,” Nicholls added.
The facility will begin services before the end of the year.
