History edit

The hospital has its origins in the Mayo County Hospital which was built on Westport Road in Castlebar and opened in October 1938.[2] This facility developed into Mayo General Hospital.[2] Taoiseach Enda Kenny opened a new Renal Dialysis Unit in December 2013.[3] The hospital changed its name from Mayo General Hospital to Mayo University Hospital in November 2015.[4]
