South Tyrone Hospital is a district general hospital located in Dungannon, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. It is managed by the Southern Health and Social Care Trust.
The hospital originated as the Dungannon Union Workhouse and Infirmary, designed by George Wilkinson, and opened in 1842.[1] A fever hospital was added to the site in 1846.[1] Over time, the infirmary evolved into South Tyrone Hospital and, in the 1960s, a distinctive red-brick tower block was erected—a feature that remains prominent today.[2]
Services
As well as the usual range of services provided by a district general hospital, South Tyrone Hospital has a minor injuries unit.[3]
