Business View Oceania
Like many other private hospitals, the
Rodney Surgical Centre was originally
established to serve a need within the
community, a need for reliable, imme-

doors and filled the void.
Today, the Rodney Surgical Cen-
tre has two state-of-the-art operating
rooms, which includes an endoscopy
room and a procedure room. Further-

a wide range of specialist services in

the centre has the services of 20 Sur-

for part-time staff who wish to balance
their work and home lives.
