History

The hospital has its origins in an infirmary which was opened in Market Street in Omagh in 1796. [2] The hospital moved to a new site on Hospital Road in 1899. [2] A post graduate centre for students of Queen's University Belfast was opened by Richard Needham in July 1988 [2] and a new renal unit followed in August 1989. [2]

In June 2002 the then Health Minister Bairbre de Brún announced the closure of the hospital, [3] a decision which was confirmed by the new Health Minister Michael McGimpsey in January 2009. [4] After services transferred to the new Omagh Hospital and Primary Care Complex the Tyrone County Hospital closed at 08:00 AM on 20 June 2017. [5]
