Welcome to the new Emergency Department

The new CPDMH Emergency Department will be built at the back of the existing hospital and connected at the first floor via a link that will include an elevator and stairs to navigate the change in elevation. It is designed to improve each patient's experience with more treatment rooms, barrier-free, walk-in entrances, and enhanced infection control standards.
