Lakeside General Hospital has served the town and surrounding districts for over three decades, providing emergency, outpatient, and specialist medical care to residents and visitors from across the region.
Departments and Services
The hospital operates fully equipped departments in general medicine, paediatrics, obstetrics and gynaecology, orthopaedics, and general surgery. A dedicated Accident and Emergency unit runs around the clock with on-call surgical and anaesthesia teams, ensuring critical care is never more than minutes away for anyone in the district.
- 24-hour Emergency and Trauma Centre with ambulance dispatch
- Outpatient clinics for cardiology, ENT, dermatology, and ophthalmology
- Modern diagnostic lab with X-ray, ultrasound, and CT imaging
- In-house pharmacy dispensing prescriptions at subsidised rates
- Maternity ward with private and semi-private birthing suites
The campus sits on Hospital Road, a five-minute walk from the town bus stand and within easy reach of the central taxi rank. A visitor car park accommodates roughly sixty vehicles, and a dedicated drop-off lane keeps the emergency entrance clear at all times. Public bus routes 12, 15, and 22 stop directly outside the main gate.
Our mission is to deliver compassionate, affordable healthcare that every family in the district can rely on, day or night.

Lakeside General accepts government health insurance, private medical cards, and walk-in patients. Specialist clinic appointments can be booked by phone or in person at the front reception desk, and the hospital’s newly launched online portal allows patients to view lab results and request prescription refills from home.
