Gartnavel General Hospital is a teaching hospital in the West End of Glasgow, Scotland. The hospital is located next to the Great Western Road, between Hyndland, Anniesland and Kelvindale. Hyndland railway station is adjacent to the hospital. The name Gartnavel is derived from the Gaelic ''Gart'' (field or enclosure) ''Ubhal'' (apple) - i.e. field of apple trees.〔http://www.theglasgowstory.com/story.php?id=TGSAG〕 The hospital was opened in December 1972 beside the existing Gartnavel Royal Hospital, to house units from the Western Infirmary that were relocating while the hospital buildings were being demolished and replaced. The hospital was formally opened by Princess Alexandra in 1973. Originally a single eight storey block containing 576 beds standing on a three storey podium, further buildings have since been added, with the most recent being a new cancer care centre to replace the current Beatson Oncology Centre facilities that are currently spread between Gartnavel, the Western Infirmary and the Royal Infirmary. == Brownlee Centre == 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. It is one of four laboratories in the UK on the WHO list of laboratories able to perform PCR for rapid diagnosis of influenza A (H1N1) virus infection in humans.〔(WHO list of countries able to perform PCR to diagnose influenza A (H1N1) virus infection in humans, 8 May 09 )〕 The Brownlee Centre was designated as the receiving centre for any potential Ebola virus disease cases during the 2014 Commonwealth Games.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/commonwealth-games/cwg-news/games-ebola-safeguards-stepped-up.24728113 )〕 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.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ebola case confirmed in Glasgow hospital )〕 On 30 December, she was reported to have been transferred to the specialist Ebola treatment centre at the Royal Free Hospital in London for longer-term treatment.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ebola nurse Pauline Cafferkey transferred to London unit )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gartnavel General Hospital」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
