Eastbourne District General Hospital is a National Health Service hospital in Eastbourne in East Sussex, England. It is managed by the East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust.
History The hospital, which was built in the mid-1970s by local building contractor Walter Llewellyn & Sons Ltd, was officially opened by Princess Alexandra in 1977. It was expanded in 1989 under a scheme which allowed the old Victorian St Mary's Hospital to close and be demolished in 1990. In 2015 the hospital confirmed that it had sent off a sample, taken from a patient with a history of travel in West Africa, for precautionary ebola testing at Public Health England.
A new day surgery unit called the Sussex Surgical Centre opened at the hospital in September 2025, containing four operating theatres.
