The Ramsay Way The Ramsay Way - 2014 | 04 1 2014 04 www.ramsayhealth.com Ramsay Health Care’s corporate newsletter New Warringal Private opens for business Ramsay CEO meets French President Ramsay Health Care CEO Chris Rex was recently invited to join the French Strategic Attractiveness Council (CSA) under the chairmanship of the President of the French Republic, François Hollande and the French Prime Minister, Mr. Manuel Valls The meeting, held at the Elysée Palace in October, gathered the 25 international top executives who are investing in France. The purpose of the Strategic Attractiveness Council was to present an overview of the French government’s economic policy, but above all to share ideas and work with major foreign CEOs on economic policies; labor market reform; and improving the attractiveness of France as a place for business to invest. Ramsay Health Care has recently finalised the acquisition of a controlling interest in leading French private hospital operator Générale de Santé. Chris said France was an attractive opportunity for the Company to invest in as it had a strong well-respected health care system, an ageing demographic and a growing demand for healthcare services. Following the meeting, the CEOs were invited to dinner at the Elysée Palace with President Hollande, the Prime Minister and other government ministers. facebook.com/ramsayhealth twitter.com/ramsayhealth THE $56 MILLION REDEVELOPMENT & EXPANSION OF WARRINGAL PRIVATE HOSPITAL IN HEIDELBERG VICTORIA, IS NOW COMPLETE WITH THE FIRST PATIENTS UNDERGOING SURGERY IN THE NEW OPERATING THEATRES IN OCTOBER. The long awaited development, which includes 64 new private single rooms with ensuites and provides elevated views over the Dandenong Ranges, also provides six new operating theatres, 170 additional car spaces and will help the hospital to meet the increasing demand for healthcare services in Melbourne’s burgeoning north eastern community. With the additional rooms, Warringal grows to a 215 bed facility and doubles its operating theatre capacity. Hospital CEO Petra Snelleman said Warringal had been operating at full capacity for several years and this expansion would help to meet the growing demand for private hospital services in the region. “The hospital has for several years struggled to meet growing demand for services, and these new facilities provide us the ability to care for more patients in an improved environment,” Petra said. The redevelopment includes an entirely new four storey building constructed adjacent to the existing hospital with a multilevel subterranean carpark. Following completion of the new wing, Warringal has now commenced the upgrade of the South Theatre Block to the contemporary standard of the new Wing. Following this project, in early 2015 an additional State of the Art Endoscopy Theatre and Day of Surgery Admission Centre will be completed. Petra welcomed the enthusiastic feedback the new development was attracting, and thanked patients, visitors, doctors and staff for their patience and tolerance during what has been a long year of construction. 10 RAMSAY UK 11 PEOPLE & CULTURE 12 RAMSAY INDONESIA 12 RAMSAY PEOPLE 13 RAMSAY SANTÉ 14 RAMSAY SIME-DARBY WARRINGAL OPENS NEW DEVELOPMENT GLOBAL STRUCTURE ANNOUNCEMENT CAIRNS GETS GREENLIGHT ON MULTI-MILLION$ DEVELOPMENT HOLLYWOOD NO1 IN AUSTRALIA FOR STAFF SATISFACTION WORLD FIRST: BABY BORN AFTER UTERUS TRANSPLANT CEO’S MESSAGE CHAIRMAN’S CHRISTMAS MESSAGE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT FOR PENINSULA ROBOTIC SURGERY 1ST FOR WESTMEAD JOONDALUP REACHES LOWEST LTI EVER 01 02 03 06 09 02 02 04 08 10 50 years of People Caring for People L-R: Peter Evans, Deputy Chairman Ramsay Health Care; Chris Rex, CEO Ramsay Health Care; Michael Siddle, Chairman Ramsay Health Care; Cr Craig Langdon, Mayor Banyule Council; Danny Sims, CEO Ramsay Australia - at the Official Opening of Warringal’s latest redevelopment.
