Post op care

Postoperative care is crucial for ensuring a smooth recovery after surgery, involving pain management, wound care, and monitoring for complications

What we do

Kooweerup Hospital doesn't have operating facilities, but we're here to support your surgical journey. If you're a local resident requiring surgery, we'll coordinate your transfer to a hospital.

Following your procedure, you can return to our acute care ward where our experienced team will provide comprehensive post-operative monitoring. We ensure your recovery is as comfortable as possible while keeping you close to home.

We maintain strong partnerships with your local GP to deliver seamless care throughout your hospital stay and return home. Our approachable staff will organise any necessary medications or equipment you need.

Whether it's additional at-home support or specialised care requirements, we're committed to facilitating your smooth transition from hospital to home. Our ultimate goal is helping you or your loved ones recover fully and return to healthy, independent living as quickly as possible.

For local community members, we bridge the gap between surgical care and home recovery with personalised attention every step of the way.
