UPMC Kildare Hospital, also called Clane Hospital, is a private hospital located in Clane, County Kildare, Ireland.[1][2] It is accredited by CHKS.[3][4]
History
[edit]The hospital was founded in October 1985 by Andrew Rynne, an Irish surgeon and the chairperson of the Irish Family Planning Association, and the Republic of Ireland's first vasectomy specialist.[5]
A controversy in its history was the use of defective Poly Implant Prothèse breast implants prior to 2012.[6][4]
