Calvary acquires Hobart Private Hospital, raising concerns about access to reproductive health services

Catholic healthcare provider Calvary is set to acquire Hobart Private Hospital, raising concerns about access to certain legal medical procedures. The sale follows the receivership of the hospital's operator, Healthscope. Calvary, a faith-based organization, does not offer services like surgical abortions and vasectomies, which are performed at Hobart Private. The Australian Medical Association has urged Calvary to maintain access to these procedures, highlighting the potential impact on patients and Tasmania's private healthcare landscape.
