The Bon Secours Hospital in Renmore in the city has opened a third endoscopy room and expanded minor operating procedure room.
The €1.3 million investment will allow an additional 4,000 scopes this year and increase patient flow across the 120-bed hospital.
The state-of-the-art endoscopes include six colonoscopes and six gastroscopes.
They also provide for enhanced diagnostic capabilities that harness AI for better patient outcomes.
