Merlin Park University Hospital (Irish: Ospidéal Ollscoile Pháirc Mherlin) is a public hospital in Galway, Ireland. It is managed by Saolta University Health Care Group.[1]

History

[edit]

The hospital, which was commissioned as a tuberculosis sanitarium, was designed by Norman White.[2] It was built on the site of Merlin Park House, a late Georgian property, and opened in 1953.[3] In October 2018, it was reported that a 200-bed elective-only facility would be built at the hospital.[4]
