I am an American visitor who came to the Mareeba Hospital on a Sunday seeking help for cellulitis in my leg. We were welcomed by staff and were able to see a doctor after a short wait. The doctor took a thorough history, explained possibilities, provided a prescription and a write-up to take to my doctor back home. The entire staff were warm and professional. Because of the excellent care I received at Mareeba, I was able to enjoy my visit to the Tablelands. Thank you! --Martha from Plymouth, Massachusetts.

I had to take a friend to mareeba hospital Tuesday evening, as she had low blood pressure and felt unwell with tightness in the chest. The nurses triaged her quickly and efficiently, reassuring her constantly. She was seen by the doctor, who contacted her doctors in both Townsville and Perth. We were both very happy with her treatment, and couldn't praise or thank the staff enough.
