Around 300 patients will be shifted during the process, which will mark closure of the hospital’s old emergency department (ED).

Besides, additional ambulances and South Australia’s multi-patient ambulance bus will be deployed to transport around 100 patients to the new hospital on each day of the move.

The new RAH will also start offering some services such as radiation oncology to the outpatients from mid-August.

“Moving to the new site is a huge undertaking for all involved and I know the community is excited about the new hospital opening its doors to inpatients in September.

To be opened after repeated delays, the entire project has seen an investment of A$2.3bn ($1.7bn), which is more than A$640m ($474m) than the original budget, reported the Australian.
