The Mater Private Hospital in Dublin was built on the site of No 7 Eccles Street, the home of the main character (Leopold Bloom) in James Joyce's Ulysses. In Joyce's youth, No 7 Eccles Street was the actual home of his contemporary, JF Byrne.[2] Its founders included Sister Gemma Byrne who became the first chief executive after the Dublin hospital's opening in May 1986.[3] The Mater Private Group was sold to Infravia Capital Partners for about €500 million in 2018.[1]
In 2022 it signed a deal with Meditech to implement its electronic health record. This will include a specialty specific solution for oncologists.[4]
Patients may be self-paying, covered by private health insurance, or funded under the state's National Treatment Purchase Fund (NTPF). In 2010, the hospital received €23 million in NTPF funds, the largest payment to any single institution.[5] In 2011 it was announced that the NTPF programme would be wound down.[6]
In 2002, the Dublin hospital received Joint Commission accreditation.[7]
