An independent hospital is adding more operating theatres after securing a seven-figure funding package.
ASET Hospital in Prescot will use the funding from HSBC to try to triple its staff and turnover during the next year, and will also grow its overnight bed capacity and add two more operating theatres, taking its total to three.
The hospital was founded in 2019 as a cosmetic surgery clinic. During the Covid-19 pandemic ASET's facilities were used by the NHS to provide treatment to skin cancer patients and on average the centre now provides care to a hundred NHS patients with skin cancer each month.
