QuestionView source ↗

As an early discharge program of 24 - 48 hours post delivery is currently not part of Woodside Hospital's model of care and that Woodside Hospital's discharge is based on clinical need not bed status imperatives, will Kaleeya Hospital's discharge also be based on clinical need?

Discharges at Kaleeya Hospital are based on clinical need, however, an early discharge program is offered to clinically appropriate patients.
