⚠️UHK is currently very busy. To allow us to look after as many people as possible, patients may be transferred to other facilities.

If you start your care journey in UHK, you may move to another hospital such as Mallow General Hospital or to one of our community hospitals.
You’ll always be offered the Right Care, in the Right Place, at the Right Time.

Má bhaineann timpiste duit, is féidir dul chuig aonad gortaithe. Déileálann aonaid ghortaithe le gortuithe a tharla le déanaí (níos lú ná 6 seachtaine ó shin), gortuithe nach mbaineann baol báis leo agus nach dócha go mbeidh cuairt ar an ospidéal de dhíth ina leith.

Cuidíonn gníomhaíocht coirp le do shláinte coirp agus le do mheabhairshláinte. Scaoileann sé ceimiceáin i d’inchinn (ionoirfiní) a imríonn tionchar dhearfach ar do spion agus ar do chorp. Ní theastaíonn athruithe móra. Tosaigh le céimeanna beaga agus coinnigh ort ag bogadh, is cuma an aois nó an cumas atá agat: https://bit.ly/4paoPrz
