University Hospital Kerry is delighted to announce their new virtual visiting program. The service will allow patients to have a video call (via WhatsApp) using a hospital Digi Pad. This 2-week pilot service is aimed to support patients who don’t have their own digital device. If successful, it is hoped to extend the operational hours of the service. University Hospital Kerry is grateful for the support from the Dublin fundraising group in #comfort4covid for the donation of the six Digi-pads.
