Earlier this month our facility Albany Day Hospital proudly performed its first-ever Arteriovenous (AV) Fistula surgery a landmark achievement not only for our hospital, but for the wider Albany community.
Thanks to the expertise of Dr Mahmoud Al-Najjar (Vascular Surgeon), Dr Phil Marmion (Anaesthetist), and our incredible peri-operative team, local patients can now access this important dialysis surgery right here in Albany, without needing to travel hundreds of kilometres.
This procedure gives patients a safe, long-term lifeline for dialysis, with care from skilled nurses and a short stay post-surgery.
We’re proud to continue expanding our services and capabilities to support the Albany community with more specialist care in the future. 💙
