South Tyrone Hospital is a district general hospital located in Dungannon, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. It is managed by the Southern Health and Social Care Trust.
History
[edit]The hospital originated as the Dungannon Union Workhouse and Infirmary, designed by George Wilkinson, and opened in 1842.[1] A fever hospital was added to the site in 1846.[1] Over time, the infirmary evolved into South Tyrone Hospital and, in the 1960s, a distinctive red-brick tower block was erected—a feature that remains prominent today.[2]
Services
[edit]As well as the usual range of services provided by a district general hospital, South Tyrone Hospital has a minor injuries unit.[3]
