National Maternity Hospital, Dublin
The National Maternity Hospital, Holles Street, Dublin, popularly known as Holles Street Hospital, is the largest maternity hospital in Ireland.
The hospital delivers over 10,000 babies per year. It is the national referral centre for complicated pregnancies, premature and sick infants. The main hospital building at Holles Street dates to the 1930s, but the complex has seen little substantial expansion in the last half-century, while the number of births it handles has increased by 50 per cent in the last two decades.[1]
The hospital is located at the eastern corner of Merrion Square, at its junction with Holles Street and Lower Mount Street. In May 2013 it was announced that the hospital would relocate to the site of St. Vincent's University Hospital, Elm Park.[1]
