In a recent report, it has been claimed that there would be a health facility built on the new South East Regional Hospital site in Bega. This was announced by Federal Health Minister Tanya Plibersek and Member for Eden-Monaro Mike Kelly that the facility would be built and there would be allocation of over $13million for the same in the financial budget.

This facility is expected to have a variety of public health services, Aboriginal health unit, after-hours care, training and consulting rooms, and would also offer the much needed learning environment for university students. Moreover, students and visiting staff would also be provided with five three-bedroom units in the facility.

While there would be clinics built in Moruya and Cooma, it has been found that out of the total $31m committed by the federal government, a major share has gone for the facility in Bega.

While the announcement is being applauded by one and all, it is believed that this facility would be able to offer vital health services to over 33,000 people living in the vicinity. In addition, it is seen as a huge opportunity for medical professionals to render their services for the all-round care for patients.
