FRANKSTON, VIC – Patients in Frankston are among the beneficiaries of Victoria’s efforts to cut surgery wait times, with the Frankston Public Surgical Centre playing a pivotal role in the state’s healthcare reforms.
The Victorian Government has highlighted the impact of these reforms, stating that urgent surgeries are now being delivered faster in Victoria than anywhere else in the country.
The Frankston Public Surgical Centre, alongside new operating theatre expansions in Blackburn, contributes to over 14,700 planned surgeries annually.
