Our Lady's Hospital (Irish: Ospidéal Mhuire, Manorhamilton) is a health facility located in Manorhamilton, County Leitrim, Ireland. It is managed by Saolta University Health Care Group.[1]

History

The facility, which was commissioned to replace the Surgical Hospital, Manorhamilton, opened in July 1954.[2] It was the largest building constructed in the town since Manorhamilton Castle.[3] After new x-ray equipment was ordered for the hospital,[4] x-ray services, which had been temporarily suspended, were scheduled to resume in October 2019 but staffing shortages led to further delays.[5]

Services

The Regional Rheumatology Centre is based at the hospital.[6]
