Sick and premature babies and their families are set to benefit from a major refurbishment at the John Hunter Children’s Hospital.
The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is undergoing a $7-million upgrade, funded through the Hunter Infrastructure and Investment Fund.
Work began today on stage one, which includes 32 special care spaces, a palliative care room, and facilities for families.
The unit cares for 1100 babies each year from throughout northern New South Wales.
The refurbishment should take 12 months.
