Some pushback is expected, especially from vested interests,” he acknowledged. “But we are determined to move forward, as this approach ensures patients receive high-quality care in the public system.”

She emphasized that this day marked a crucial turning point for patients, their families, and staff, and confirmed that construction is set to begin later this year.
