Hospital patients have been urged to keep attending appointments despite Level 3 restrictions in Dublin.
While hospitals across the capital have restricted visitors in an effort to curve the spread of COVID-19, essential appointments are still taking place across many of them.
The Mater Private is calling on patients to prioritise their health concerns ahead of an uncertain winter period.
Professor Robert Byrne, Director of Cardiology Services, said: “We are facing an uncertain winter like no other. The only thing that we can be sure of is that people will continue to need healthcare and treatment for non-Covid medical issues.
“People must be assured that they can still travel to Dublin for medical reasons, despite the restrictions now in place.
“Appointments at the Mater Private Dublin will go ahead as normal with stringent measures in place to ensure patient health and safety throughout their visit.
“If you require expert consultation or treatment, you should not delay in seeking it. Waiting could result in dangerous or serious long-term implications for your health.”
