Work on a long-awaited upgrade project has finished at Dunedin Hospital, almost doubling the maximum capacity of the intensive care unit.
ICU service manager Shayne Wylie said the second stage of the ICU upgrade was an "incredible improvement", and the task now facing the hospital was staffing it.
The first stage of the new ICU containing 12 beds opened in 2018, and the second stage had been intended to open the following year, but was delayed by the overhaul of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system.
