New Royal Adelaide Hospital set to open

The new Royal Adelaide Hospital is set to see outpatients from Monday and treat emergencies from next month.

The new $2.3 billion Royal Adelaide Hospital is about to open its doors to its first patients.

The hospital's outpatient service will open on Monday, less than a month before it starts treating emergencies and taking admissions.

Premier Jay Weatherill said the hospital is also on track to open its emergency department from September 5.

Mr Weatherill said the move has posed challenges but the new RAH will be the best hospital in the country.

"I'm confident that with the planning that's gone into this that it will go smoothly," he said.
