AUT EVEN HOSPITAL KILKENNY
Founded by a local benefactor in 1915, Aut Even shares the accolade of being the oldest private hospital in Ireland. It was purchased in 1933 by St John of Gods, a Catholic healthcare organisation. Today we have a set of values which are: Integrity, Competence through continuous improvement, Accountability, Respect and Empathy,” In fact, these values make up the appropriate acronym of ICARE.
Aut Even is a 71-bed elective acute private hospital, and an 18 bed day surgery unit with six x-flow, ultra- clean laminar flow operating theatres. We also have a twin suite endoscopy unit which is attached to the day care unit. We have a very broad range of surgical specialties. In terms of beds, we have 25 medical in-patient beds and 46 surgical in-patient beds of which 80% are private rooms.
In 2008 Aut Even sought accreditation from the US-based Joint Commission International (JCI). Private hospitals in Ireland and Hospitals worldwide can seek accreditation to demonstrate quality. A JCI accreditation is considered one of the highest seals of approval for medical facilities that excel in providing safe and effective care of the best quality.
