The HSE West North West region functions as part of Ireland's Health Service Executive, coordinating and delivering public health and social care services across Donegal, Leitrim, Sligo, West Cavan, Mayo, Galway, and Roscommon. Based in Newcastle, County Galway, it serves approximately 800,000 people and encompasses both hospital and community healthcare services in the area. It sits within the Hospitals and Health Care sector, bringing together local hospital networks and community care under a single regional framework. A notable development in 2026 is the Renal Home Therapies Service launched at Letterkenny University Hospital, enabling patients with advanced kidney disease to perform peritoneal dialysis at home. Reports also highlight capacity improvements at University Hospital Galway, including plans to add hundreds of beds to enhance care delivery and reduce waiting times. These activities reflect ongoing efforts by the Saolta Group to expand and strengthen regional health services for residents in the west and north-west.
