The hospital was commissioned to replace the aging St Catherine's Hospital on the north side of Quill Street in Tralee.[2] The new hospital, which was built on a site to the south of the old hospital, opened as the Tralee General Hospital in 1984.[3] After evolving to become Kerry General Hospital, it was renamed University Hospital Kerry in February 2016.[4]
Services
The hospital provides acute services and has 377 beds and delivers nearly 1,500 babies a year.[3] It is affiliated with University College Cork.[5]
