Cairns Base Hospital
The redevelopment of the Cairns Base Hospital included the refurbishment of Blocks A, B and C. As part of these works, VAE provided the CSSD department with a new steam generation plant which included water softening and reverse osmosis systems. We also delivered clinical services for advanced nurse practitioner, post-op, imaging, renal and birthing departments.
