Gartnavel General Hospital
The hospital is located next to the Great Western Road, between Hyndland, Anniesland and Kelvindale.[4] The hospital was designed by Keppie, Henderson & Partners in association with Thomas Astorga,[5][6] It was initially used to house units from the Western Infirmary that were relocating while the hospital buildings were being demolished and replaced.[5] Originally a single eight-storey block containing 576 beds standing on a three-storey podium,[8] further buildings have since been added, with the most recent being a new cancer care centre in 2007[9] to replace the Beatson Oncology Centre facilities that were spread between Gartnavel, the Western Infirmary and the Royal Infirmary.[10] The Brownlee Centre for Infectious and Communicable Diseases opened on the Gartnavel General Hospital site in 1998, replacing services and research laboratories at the city's Ruchill Hospital.[12] On 29 December 2014, Pauline Cafferkey, a British aid worker who had just returned from Sierra Leone was diagnosed with Ebola virus disease at the centre.
